The shared ram and neural engine make for an interesting/powerful platform if people are willing to port to it.

Are the neural engines able to be leveraged by 3rd parties yet? I thought there was no API available yet.

They are leveraging Apple’s Metal Performance Shaders[1] not the neural engine. From the chart, it looks like you might get ~20x max boost on inference over plain CPU. Obviously, it's not like having RTX 4090 but better than nothing.

CoreML is the API.
