A community-maintained documentation resource explaining how the Apple Neural Engine (ANE) works, based on reverse-engineering and experimentation. It covers which devices have an ANE, how to get Core ML models running on it, its limitations, and unsupported layers.

Use cases

• why is my core ml model not running on the neural engine
• how to make my model run on the apple neural engine
• which core ml layers are unsupported on the ane
• is my model using the ane or the gpu
• how fast is the ane compared to gpu on iphone
• can i program the apple neural engine directly
• which iphone and ipad devices have a neural engine

When to choose

• you deploy Core ML models on iOS and want to leverage the ANE
• you're debugging why a model falls back to CPU or GPU
• you want community-documented ANE capabilities and limitations

When to avoid

• you need official Apple documentation or guaranteed accuracy
• you're targeting Android or non-Apple NPUs
• you need executable code or a library rather than reference material
