Pretty misleading. This driver is only for compute not graphics.

As a sizable share of the market is going to want to use this for local LLMs, I do not think this is that misleading.

Most people I know are not using TinyGrad for inference, but CUDA or Vulkan (neither of which are provided here).

GPUs can do graphics too?

I can’t tell if you’re making a joke about the current state of AI and GPUs or refuting the purpose of this driver

The latest MacBook Pros don’t even need external GPUs to run AAA games.

What do you mean when you say "run"? Low graphics 45 FPS at 720p? Or ultra graphics 120 FPS at 4k? My assumption is that a fairly large part of that space is inaccessible with the integrated GPU.

The term eGPU gives it away, but is inaccurate.
Something like eNPU or eTPU seems more appropriate here.
