ANEForge: Program the Apple Neural Engine Directly, from Python
SMRTR summary
ANEForge is a Python package that bypasses CoreML to directly access Apple's Neural Engine for both inference and training. It dispatches through the same private stack CoreML uses internally, enabling end-to-end training, LLM inference, and arbitrary workloads like FFTs on the ANE. ResNet-18 runs at 0.33ms — 6.1× faster than GPU — at just 4.5W, with support for 28 cross-compilation targets.
