This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
iree-metal
iree-metal is an independent, experimental developer preview of a JAX backend
for Apple GPUs. It is maintained at
niklio/iree-metal. It is not an official release of iree-org, the IREE project, or the Linux Foundation.
This distribution is a platform-specific metapackage. It installs the exact, version-matched compiler and PJRT plugin wheels that passed the developer preview release gates; it contains no executable code itself.
Supported preview configuration
- Apple M4
- macOS arm64
- CPython 3.12
- JAX and JAXLIB 0.6.1
Other Apple GPUs, Python/JAX versions, dynamic shapes, multiple devices, and broad JAX compatibility are not release claims.
Install
Developer preview versions are prereleases, so request them explicitly:
python3.12 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --pre iree-metal
JAX_PLATFORMS=iree_metal python -c \
'import jax; print(jax.__version__, jax.devices())'
The compiler distribution shares the iree.compiler import namespace with
stock IREE. Use a dedicated virtual environment and do not install
iree-base-compiler alongside this preview.
See the complete support and numeric contract and the release notes before use.
