Thanks. At least when I ran the benchmarks with Tensorflow, using mixed precision resulted in the CPU being used for training instead of the GPU on the M1 Pro. So if the hardware is there for fp16 and they will implement the software support for DL frameworks, that will be great.

Yes, unfortunately, the software is to blame for the time being, and I also ran into issues myself. :\ Hope they catch up to what the hardware delivers well, including both the GPU and the Neural Engine.
