PlaidML, open source deep learning for any GPU
Our company Vertex.AI has been working on this for a while but this is the first public release. We're starting with using PlaidML to bring OpenCL support to Keras and more frameworks, platforms, etc are coming. Yes, this means you can use use your AMD GPU for deep learning dev. Sorry, no Mac or Windows support yet although the brave can try building from source (it should work). http://vertex.ai/blog/announcing-plaidml https://github.com/plaidml/plaidml
PlaidML, open source deep learning for any GPU launched on October 20, 2017 with 52 votes, #827 of 3,169 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.
In plain words
PlaidML is an open-source deep learning framework that enables GPU acceleration through OpenCL support, allowing developers to use AMD and other GPUs for machine learning work. It integrates with Keras and is designed to support additional frameworks and platforms in the future. Currently available on Linux, with source code available for those willing to build for Mac and Windows, PlaidML expands GPU options beyond NVIDIA for deep learning development.

Llama 3.1 70B on a single RTX 3090 via NVMe-to-GPU bypassing the CPUFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲395Hi everyone, I'm kinda involved in some retrogaming and with some experiments I ran into the following question: "It would be possible to run transformer models bypassing the cpu/ram, connecting the gpu to the nvme?" This is the result of that question itself and some weekend vibecoding (it has the linked library repository in the readme as well), it seems to work, even on consumer gpus, it should work better on professional ones tho
HipScript – Run CUDA in the browser with WebAssembly and WebGPU2025 · hipscript.lights0123.com · ▲309CUDA is NVIDIA's language for GPU programming, allowing you to mix write CPU and GPU code in C++ in one file. By chaining a few projects that compile CUDA to OpenCL, then Vulkan, then WebGPU, you can experiment with this GPGPU language on any hardware.
I built a tensor library from scratch in C++/CUDA2025 · github.com · ▲119Hi HN, Over the past few months, I've been building `dsc`, a tensor library from scratch in C++/CUDA. My main focus has been on getting the basics right, prioritizing a clean API, simplicity, and clear observability for running small LLMs locally. The key features are: - C++ core with CUDA support written from scratch. - A familiar, PyTorch-like Python API. - Runs real models: it's complete enough to load a model like Qwen from HuggingFace and run inference on both CUDA and CPU with a single line change[1]. - Simple, built-in observability for both Python and C++. Next on the roadmap is…
Richard – A CNN written in C++ and Vulkan (no ML or math libs)2024 · github.com · ▲184This started out as a personal effort to learn more about machine learning. It's currently a CLI app where you give it a JSON file specifying your network architecture and hyperparameters and point it to your training data, then invoke it again in 'eval' mode with some data it's not seen before and it will try to classify each sample. I don't see many other people using Vulkan for GPGPU, and there may be many good reasons for that, but I wanted to try something a bit different. I've made every attempt to make the code very clean and readable and I've written up the math in…
