Not sure if this directly helps you, but I was getting errors following Apple's guide.

I don't actually recall the steps I took to get here (with TF 2.5 and Metal support for GPU), but I made this to share the environment. Please let me know on the repo if it doesn't work! (or does!)

If you're comfortable not using conda, you can follow the guide I linked in this post: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/687654

I don't just get it work even if I followed strictly the guide given at https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/

ImportError:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was installed.

We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html

Please note and check the following:

  • The Python version is: Python3.9 from "/Users/mattihonkanen/miniforge3/bin/python"
  • The NumPy version is: "1.19.5"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect. Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.

I've installed Tensorflow multiple time on Mac M1 using this guide https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/

Just follow it step by step, don't skip the miniforge3 installation, it is absolutely mandatory to install and use the one provided in the guide.

Tested on python 3.8 and 3.9. Tensorflow is not supported on 3.10 (yet)
