Hi!

Just wanna say thank you for all of this amazing work for porting over TensorFlow to apple silicon.

My question is, ( sorry if this the wrong place to ask ) would it be possible to install TF onto an iPad? Since they run the same silicon and they can run the same apps, I'm assuming at least some of it would be compatible. Thanks!

Hello, there is no way at all of having full system access in Apple devices other than Macs, you need a Mac. You could plug your iPad to a Mac and use Xcode to program in Swift an app that would access the whole iPad hardware through Apple libraries and APIs. You can create an app that does training and or inference in an iPad using PythonKit in Xcode... with a Mac.
