I am attempting to install Tensorflow on my M1 and I seem to be unable to find the correct matching versions of jax, jaxlib and numpy to make it all work. I am in Bash, because the default shell gave me issues. I downgraded to python 3.10, because with 3.13, I could not do anything right. Current actions: bash-3.2$ python3.10 -m venv ~/venv-metal bash-3.2$ python --version Python 3.10.16 python3.10 -m venv ~/venv-metal source ~/venv-metal/bin/activate python -m pip install -U pip python -m pip install tensorflow-macos And here, I keep running tnto errors like: (venv-metal):~$ pip install tensorflow-macos tensorflow-metal ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-macos (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-macos What is wrong here? How can I fix that? It seems like the system wants to use the x86 version of python ... which can't be right.

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?

I was installing TensorFlow metal in the environment called "arm64_tf'" in anaconda using command line "python -m pip install tensorflow-metal" in terminal and it shows : ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-metal (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-metal I have already tried using " conda install -c anaconda libffi" but it still doesn't work is there a solution ? Thanks apologies for my bad English

Hello! I've been trying to run tensorflow on my MBA M3. I previously had an Intel Mac and was able to run tensorflow without any problem. I've been working on a personal project in a directory I made on my previous Mac, that I was running through Jupyter notebook. Now every time I try to run the code, the kernel will die and I'm unsure what to do. I tried following tutorials, but every tutorial I've seen has made me create a new environment to access Jupyter Notebook, but not letting me access notebooks and files that have already been created. I tried to run this following command in terminal and received the subsequent error back. python -m pip install tensorflow-metal ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-metal (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-metal I've installed miniforge, Xcode, and anaconda onto my computer already and wanted some assistance.

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, The most recent version of tensorflow-metal is only available for macosx 12.0 and python up to version 3.11. Is there any chance it could be updated with wheels for macos 15 and Python 3.12 (which is the default version supported for tensrofllow 2.17+)? I'd note that even downgrading to Python 3.11 would not be sufficient, as the wheels only work for macos 12. Thanks.

Hi all, When executing an HLO program using the JAX metal PJRT plugin, the program fails due to an unsupported data type returned by the rng_bit_generator operation. The generated HLO includes: %output_state, %output = "mhlo.rng_bit_generator"(%1) <{rng_algorithm = #mhlo.rng_algorithm<PHILOX>}> : (tensor<3xi64>) -> (tensor<3xi64>, tensor<3xui32>) The error message indicates that: Metal only supports MPSDataTypeFloat16, MPSDataTypeBFloat16, MPSDataTypeFloat32, MPSDataTypeInt32, and MPSDataTypeInt64. The use of ui32 seems to be incompatible with Metal’s allowed types. I’m trying to understand if the ui32 output is the problem or maybe the use of rng_bit_generator is wrong. Could you clarify if there is a workaround or planned support for ui32 output in this context? Alternatively, guidance on configuring rng_bit_generator for compatibility with Metal’s supported types would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I’m attempting to convert a TensorFlow model to CoreML using the coremltools package, but I’m encountering an error during the conversion process. The error traceback points to an issue within the Cast operation in the MIL (Model Intermediate Layer) when it tries to perform type inference: AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'astype' Here is the relevant part of the error traceback: File ~/.pyenv/versions/3.10.12/lib/python3.10/site-packages/coremltools/converters/mil/mil/ops/defs/iOS15/elementwise_unary.py", line 896, in get_cast_value return input_var.val.astype(dtype=type_map[dtype_val]) I’ve tried converting a model from the yamnet-tensorflow2 repository, and this error occurs when CoreML tries to cast a float type during the conversion of certain operations. I’m currently using Python 3.10 and coremltools version 6.0.1, with TensorFlow 2.x. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can offer suggestions on how to resolve this? I’ve also considered that this might be related to mismatches in the model’s data types, but I’m not sure how to proceed. Platform and package versions: coremltools 6.1 tensorflow 2.10.0 tensorflow-estimator 2.10.0 tensorflow-hub 0.16.1 tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem 0.37.1 Python 3.10.12 pip 24.3.1 from ~/.pyenv/versions/3.10.12/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10) Darwin MacBook-Pro.local 24.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 24.1.0: Thu Oct 10 21:02:27 PDT 2024; root:xnu-11215.41.3~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

hi, I am currently running LSTM on TensorFlow. However, when i switched from keras2 to keras3. code running time has increased 10 times -- it seems there is no GPU acceleration.

My system is 15.0.1 and the code was running on python3.11 I am not sure why these happen. Thanks

I was working on my project and when I tried to train a model the kernel crashed, so I restarted the kernel and tried the same and still I got the same crashing issue. Then I read one of the thread having the same issue where the apple support was saying to install tensorflow-macos and tensorflow-metal and read the guide from this site: https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/ and I did so, I tried every single thing and when I tried the test code provided in the site, I got the same error, here's the code and the output. Code: import tensorflow as tf cifar = tf.keras.datasets.cifar100 (x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = cifar.load_data() model = tf.keras.applications.ResNet50( include_top=True, weights=None, input_shape=(32, 32, 3), classes=100,) loss_fn = tf.keras.losses.SparseCategoricalCrossentropy(from_logits=False) model.compile(optimizer="adam", loss=loss_fn, metrics=["accuracy"]) model.fit(x_train, y_train, epochs=5, batch_size=64) and here's the output: Epoch 1/5 The Kernel crashed while executing code in the current cell or a previous cell.

The metal plugin for TensorFlow had its GitHub repo taken down, and on pypi, the last update was a year ago for TF 2.14. What's the status on the metal plugin? For now it seems to work fine for TF 2.15 but what's the plan for the future?

Following this instruction to install jax (https://developer.apple.com/metal/jax/), I still encountered this error: RuntimeError: This version of jaxlib was built using AVX instructions, which your CPU and/or operating system do not support. This error is frequently encountered on macOS when running an x86 Python installation on ARM hardware. In this case, try installing an ARM build of Python. Otherwise, you may be able work around this issue by building jaxlib from source. How to fix it?

I've been attempting to install tf metal on my computer so that I can use GPUs instead of CPUs. I have tf macOS installed already, and I am fully updated with pip and tf. I'm currently 2 months into building and training a tf CNN, and I'm at the point where training a single epoch for my network will take a week (I have a lot of data that I need to use). I desperately need to use GPUs but am stuck with CPUs for now. I can't get access to a cluster, so the best I can do is continue to use my M2 MacBook. Is there any other way I can install TF metal? Is there a way I can use GPUs (rather than CPUs) when using TF if I can't get install metal? I keep getting this error message: "ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-metal (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-metal" I looked on apple forums, tried to download it from GitHub (the page is down), and anything else I could think of and/or find on the internet to help, but it still isn't installing. I've used the following commands and still no luck: python -m pip install tensorflow-metal pip install https://github.com/apple/tensorflow_metal/releases/download/v0.5.0/tensorflow_metal-0.5.0-py3-none-any.whl pip install tensorflow-metal pip3 install tensorflow-metal SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=0 python -m pip install tensorflow-metal SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=0 pip install tensorflow-macos tensorflow-metal conda install -c anaconda tensorflow-gpu Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much!

"Last year, I upgraded to an M2 Max laptop, expecting that tensorflow-metal would facilitate effective local prototyping utilizing the Apple Silicon's capabilities. It has been quite some time since tensorflow-metal was last updated, and there appear to be several unresolved issues noted by the community here. I've personally observed the following behavior with my setup: Without tensorflow-metal: import tensorflow as tf for _ in range(10): print(tf.random.normal((3,)).numpy()) [-1.4213976 0.08230731 -1.1260201 ] [ 1.2913705 -0.47693467 -1.2886043 ] [ 0.09144169 -1.0892165 0.9313669 ] [ 1.1081179 0.9865657 -1.0298151] [ 0.03328908 -0.00655857 -0.02662632] [-1.002391 -1.1873596 -1.1168724] [-1.2135247 -1.2823236 -1.0396363] [-0.03492929 -0.9228362 0.19147137] [-0.59353966 0.502279 0.80000925] [-0.82247525 -0.13076428 0.99579334] With tensorflow-metal: import tensorflow as tf for _ in range(10): print(tf.random.normal((3,)).numpy()) [ 1.0031303 0.8095635 -0.0610961] [-1.3544159 0.7045493 0.03666191] [-1.3544159 0.7045493 0.03666191] [-1.3544159 0.7045493 0.03666191] [-1.3544159 0.7045493 0.03666191] [-1.3544159 0.7045493 0.03666191] [-1.3544159 0.7045493 0.03666191] [-1.3544159 0.7045493 0.03666191] [-1.3544159 0.7045493 0.03666191] [-1.3544159 0.7045493 0.03666191] Given these observations, it seems there may be an issue with the randomness of tf.random.normal when using tensorflow-metal.

Furthermore, could anyone provide an update on whether tensorflow-metal is still being actively developed, or if alternative approaches are recommended for utilizing the GPU capabilities of this hardware?

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!
