ANE is trending at 7,070 stars for doing what Apple doesn't permit: training, not just inference, on the ANE. Core ML exposes it for inference only, so every on-device fine-tune to date has fallen back to GPU via Metal. If it holds up, the power and thermal math for local training on Mac and iPhone changes. Private-API dependence means any OS point release can break it.
