I noticed the typo while preparing new training tests (see https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/AustrianNewspapers/wiki/Training-with-Calamari) with disappointing performance on Apple M1 with GPU.

Thanks! Interesting to see your benchmarks. I would have expected at least some improvements there, but the "ETA" value after 100 steps looks as if it's almost slower on GPU than on CPU...

It's much slower on M1 GPU than on CPU. M1 CPU is a good choice compared to Intel CPU, but M1 GPU is currently a bad choice. I wonder why, because I had expected that Apple's unified memory which avoids data transfer between CPU and GPU RAM would result in a much better performance.
