The 1108 wasn't really special purpose Lisp hardware. One could run other operating systems on it. What made it special purpose was the loaded microcode for the CPU.

Agreed: On modern CPUs.

More support for the additional hardware features like GPUs, media processing engines and the neural network engines (see the M1 Pro/Max/Ultra) would be welcome.

The best bet for getting GPU deep learning support, I use Anaconda/conda, using the Apple M1 channel. That said, I usually use my Linux GPU rig or Colab for deep learning.
