hawkiyc:

I have tested neural network models with TensorFlow only, and everything works fine. So, I think TF indeed detects and uses my GPU.


unfortunately, its not really a conclusive test. I admit I haven’t used an M1 device, but as long as the framework can use a device, I don’t see why Huggingface won’t be able to.
Could you try doing a speed comparison for training models to ensure it’s not running on CPU?
Another thing - in your image

Metal Device set to: AMD Radeo Pro 5500M

Am I correct in assuming that you want to use an AMD GPU, not via the M1 processor?
