- Mojo now supports Apple Silicon GPUs, making GPU programming more accessible.
- Requirements include an Apple Silicon Mac (M1-M4), macOS 15+, and Xcode 16+.
- Initial support includes basic GPU functions and puzzles, but not all features work yet.
- Known limitations include missing intrinsics, MAX graphs, PyTorch interoperability, and AI model support.
- Future work includes enabling async operations, atomic operations, and better error messaging.
- Mojo compiles GPU functions to Apple Intermediate Representation (AIR) for execution on Metal.
- The MetalDeviceContext manages compilation and execution behind the scenes.
- Community contributions are welcome, but some infrastructure is still internal.
- Documentation and optimization guides for Apple Silicon GPUs will be shared in the future.
