Apple’s machine learning framework gets support for NVIDIA GPUs

Apple’s MLX machine learning framework, originally designed for Apple Silicon, is getting a CUDA backend, which is a pretty big deal. Here’s why.

The work is being led by developer @zcbenz on GitHub (via AppleInsider), who started prototyping CUDA support a few months ago. Since then, he split the project into smaller pieces, and gradually merged them into Apple’s MLX’s main branch.

The backend is still a work in progress, but several core operations, like matrix…
