According to Soumith Chintala, co-creator of PyTorch, Apple’s engineering team has not dedicated sufficient resources to PyTorch support on MacStudio, resulting in a subpar AI development experience compared to NVIDIA-based platforms. Meta engineers currently shoulder most of the work to improve the MPS backend for Apple Silicon, while Apple’s own involvement and commitment fluctuate, impacting the platform's competitiveness for AI developers. With PyTorch holding over 90% market share in AI development, Chintala highlights that without robust software support, MacStudio risks remaining limited to AI inference rather than becoming a true AI development workstation. This situation presents a business opportunity for hardware and software vendors targeting the AI developer market, as superior PyTorch integration remains a key competitive differentiator (source: x.com/soumithchintala/status/1978472738156089469).
