Are the New M1 Macbooks Any Good for Deep Learning?
I think a better comparison would have been some of the smaller discrete GPU wielding laptop. You can get some of these for similar prices to the M1 macs.Also, for me, the answer is no: they're not any good. I use PyTorch. I use custom CUDA code. The reality is brutal but simple: if it doesn't run CUDA, no serious ML research will use it for training anything else than toy models.
