Hi,
The current state of the intel based mac is as follows:
- x86 macs with intel GPUs are not supported by MPS
at all (on the Apple side). So this won’t be supported I’m afraid.(EDIT: Sorry, this is not accurate, let’s continue the discussion about this in PyTorch support for Intel GPUs on Mac ) - x86 macs with AMD GPUs are supported by MPS and that should work on master now. We have some issues with fixing up final binaries for it. So if you need it now, you can compile from source. Otherwise, we expect to get the nightly binaries that support this later this week (you can track [DO NOT MERGE] Move x86 binaries builder to macos-12 to enable MPS build by albanD · Pull Request #77662 · pytorch/pytorch · GitHub ).
btw: this thread is only for the category specification discussion. Feel free to open a new topic if you want more details on this!
