  It's super cool, but then, the question becomes: why?

  The eGPU enclosure isn't portable, so at that point, you could just plug it into a linux mini-pc. What's the benefit of using an iPad here?

  Unexpected interpretation of on-device inference:

      It drives an AMD GPU in a Thunderbolt enclosure.
  

  But interesting it's possible to run Linux drivers on an iPad.

    You get an AMD GPU, put it in an external case ("enclosure") connect it with usb-c or thunderbolt and that's what's being used in the app. For inference of course
