I'm encountering a segmentation fault when using np.matmul with relatively small arrays on macOS 15.2. The issue only occurs in specific scenarios and results in a crash with the following error: Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000110 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11 Full error log: Gist link The crash consistently occurs on a specific line where np.matmul is called, despite similar np.matmul operations succeeding earlier in the same script. The issue cannot be reproduced in a separate script that contains identical operations. When I build the NumPy wheel using OpenBLAS, this issue no longer arises, which leads me to believe that it is related to a problem with Accelerate.

I am currently training a Tabular Classification model in CreatML. The dataset comprises 30 features, including 1,000,000 training data points and 1,000,000 verification data points. Could you please estimate the approximate training time for an M4Max MacBook Pro? During the training process, CreatML has been displaying the “Processing” status, but there is no progress bar. I would like to ascertain whether the training is still ongoing, as I have often suspected that it has ceased.

We enabled WebGPU feature flag on Safari on iOS 18.2. This does give Safari an access to GPU but WKWebView still doesn't have GPU access. Can WKWebView not access GPU through Safari feature flag? Is there some other mechanism through which we can enable GPU access for WKWebView?

After updating to macOS15.2beta, the Yolo11 object detection model exported to coreml outputs incorrect and abnormal bounding boxes. It also doesn't work in iOS apps built on a 15.2 mac. The same model worked fine on macOS14.1. When training a Yolo11 custom model in Python, exporting it to coreml, and testing it in the preview tab of mlpackage on macOS15.2 and Xcode16.0, the above result is obtained.

I am running the same Python script using the TensorFlow Metal module on computers with M3 and M4 GPUs. While 1 epoch takes 5 minutes on the M3 device, it takes 15 minutes on the M4 device. What could be the reason for this? Could it be that TensorFlow Metal is not yet optimized for the M4 architecture?

Hi Everyone, I'm currently facing an issue where TensorFlow is unable to detect the GPU on my M1 Mac for model training. When I run the following code to check for available GPUs: import tensorflow as tf print("Num GPUs Available: ", len(tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU'))) Num GPUs Available: 0 I have already applied the steps mentioned in the developer apple document. https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/ System Information: Device: M1 Mac Pro Max Python Version: 3.12.2 TensorFlow Version: 2.17.0 OS: macOS Sequoia (15.1) Questions: Is there any additional configuration required to enable GPU support on M1 Macs? Are there specific TensorFlow versions that I should be using for better compatibility? Has anyone else faced this issue, and how did you resolve it?

Hi Apple Developer Community, I’m exploring ways to fine-tune the SNSoundClassifier to allow users of my iOS app to personalize the model by adding custom sounds or adjusting predictions. While Apple’s WWDC session on sound classification explains how to train from scratch, I’m specifically interested in using SNSoundClassifier as the base model and building/fine-tuning on top of it. Here are a few questions I have: 1. Fine-Tuning on SNSoundClassifier: Is there a way to fine-tune this model programmatically through APIs? The manual approach using macOS, as shown in this documentation is clear, but how can it be done dynamically - within the app for users or in a cloud backend (AWS/iCloud)? Are there APIs or classes that support such on-device/cloud-based fine-tuning or incremental learning? If not directly, can the classifier’s embeddings be used to train a lightweight custom layer? Training is likely computationally intensive and drains too much on battery, doing it on cloud can be right way but need the right apis to get this done. A sample code will do good. 2. Recommended Approach for In-App Model Customization: If SNSoundClassifier doesn’t support fine-tuning, would transfer learning on models like MobileNetV2, YAMNet, OpenL3, or FastViT be more suitable? Given these models (SNSoundClassifier, MobileNetV2, YAMNet, OpenL3, FastViT), which one would be best for accuracy and performance/efficiency on iOS? I aim to maintain real-time performance without sacrificing battery life. Also it is important to see architecture retention and accuracy after conversion to CoreML model. 3. Cost-Effective Backend Setup for Training: Mac EC2 instances on AWS have a 24-hour minimum billing, which can become expensive for limited user requests. Are there better alternatives for deploying and training models on user request when s/he uploads files (training data)? 4. TensorFlow vs PyTorch: Between TensorFlow and PyTorch, which framework would you recommend for iOS Core ML integration? TensorFlow Lite offers mobile-optimized models, but I’m also curious about PyTorch’s performance when converted to Core ML. 5. Metrics: Metrics I have in mind while picking the model are these: Publisher, Accuracy, Fine-Tuning capability, Real-Time/Live use, Suitability of iPhone 16, Architectural retention after coreML conversion, Reasons for unsuitability, Recommended use case. Any insights or recommended approaches would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have a question regarding the voice and sound recognition features on the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 15 Pro is equipped with four microphones, and I understand that for features like Apple’s sound recognition and when invoking Siri, the microphone(s) must always be active. My question is whether the device uses a single microphone (mono channel) for these functions or if multiple microphones are activated simultaneously. I would appreciate clarification on how the microphones are utilized in sound and voice recognition features. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards.

I’m working on real-time object detection using YOLOv8, but I only need to detect objects in approximately 40% of the screen area. Is it possible to limit the captureOut method to focus solely on that specific region of the screen? If this isn’t feasible, I’m considering an approach where the full-screen pixel buffer is captured and then cropped to the target area before running detection. However, I’m concerned about how this might affect real-time performance. I’d appreciate any insights on how to maintain real-time performance or suggestions for better alternatives. Thank you!

We are experiencing a major issue with the native .version1 of the SoundAnalysis framework in iOS 18, which has led to all our user not having recordings. Our core feature relies heavily on sound analysis in the background, and it previously worked flawlessly in prior iOS versions. However, in the new iOS 18, sound analysis stops working in the background, triggering a critical warning. Details of the issue: We are using SoundAnalysis to analyze background sounds and have enabled the necessary background permissions. We are using the latest XCode A warning now appears, and sound analysis fails in the background. Below is the warning message we are encountering: Warning Message: Execution of the command buffer was aborted due to an error during execution. Insufficient Permission (to submit GPU work from background) [Espresso::handle_ex_plan] exception=Espresso exception: "Generic error": Insufficient Permission (to submit GPU work from background) (00000006:kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorBackgroundExecutionNotPermitted); code=7 status=-1 Unable to compute the prediction using a neural network model. It can be an invalid input data or broken/unsupported model (error code: -1).

Hello, I’m currently working on Tiny ML or ML on Edge using the Google Colab platform. Due to the exhaust of my compute unit’s free usage, I’m being prompted to pay. I’ve been considering leveraging the GPU capabilities of my iPad M1 and Intel-based Mac. Both devices utilize Thunderbolt ports capable of sharing connections up to 30GB/s. Since I’m primarily using a classification model, extensive GPU usage isn’t necessary. I’m looking for assistance or guidance on utilizing the iPad’s processor as an eGPU on my Mac, possibly through an API or Apple technology. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
