Open-Source Tool Runs Transformers on Apple Neural Engine

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

Espresso is a new open-source library that enables training and inference of transformer models directly on Apple's Neural Engine. It bypasses the CPU and GPU for faster, more efficient AI processing on Apple devices. The project is available on GitHub with 14 points and 3 comments on Hacker News.
