I am gonna have an aneurysm. It relies on CUDA, yet you can't get a recent Apple machine with a proper desktop Nvidia GPU. No, I don't want an external GPU box. What the heck are they running this on internally? Actually, don't tell me. Just sell me one.
I would have expected a larger announcement for a release like this. It seems to come from Apple's acquisition of Turi in mid-2016 [0]. From what I can tell, they are open sourcing most of that product with new integrations to Core ML. Will be interesting to see how Apple plans to position this against existing ML solutions with easy to use Python api's like scikit-learn, keras, etc. [0] https://techcrunch.com/2016/0…
seeing as Apple has gathered basically zero goodwill in the ML community, I expect their staff will be the only people to use most of it

if your not familiar with graphlab, check the coursera link: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/machine-learning

Turi (Graphlab) is an acquisition from last year. Can't remember if they had GPU support back then.

I've used Keras to mostly automate ANNs and then drop the trained models into TensorFlow Android. I wouldnt classify it as easy. However, it used to take months to do this, nowadays it takes days to do it. Still incredibly painful and mostly an undocumented black-art.
If one wants to start from zero experience of Neural Networks, but expertise in application development process, what resources would you recommend to start learning?

I feel your pain. AMD-only GPU config finally got me to ditch the MBP for work. I tried to use my 2014 model as long as I could.

I'm mostly looking for something like "excel for ANN"

I’m curious why you couldn’t use the 2014 model anymore? I still use mine with the 750m and it works fine for testing the CUDA programming I do. Really hope there’s one with an Nvidia card by the time I decide to upgrade.
There is an electrical issue which cannot be fixed easily because it is now out of warranty. I get continuously mildly shocked most times i touch the keyboard. I still use it at home with a docked setup (external keyboard, mouse), but it is a total no-no when on-the-go. Docked, it is great -- can even connect three monitors (2 via DP and 1 via HDMI).
The electrical issue started as a mild annoyance manifesting as a slight tickle in the fingers and some vibration, but when using for many hours, my pinky started getting paralyzed and would stay that way until the weekends when I didnt use the laptop. At first I though it was my pillow, sleep posture, or something. Only later did I realize it was long term mild electrocution adding up...
I tried all the electrical re-baselines at the apple store but the next set of fixes were so expensive might as well buy a Razer, which I did...
