Would be interesting to render a real desktop environment directly on top of that from the iPad. You'd get an OpenDarwin-like thing with the power of M4.
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
For people who prefer a touchscreen input over a laptop, and if they'd want to do agentic work, or perhaps text to speech, image generation, music production, fancy spellcheck while traveling?

Unexpected interpretation of on-device inference:
But interesting it's possible to run Linux drivers on an iPad.can someone explains this project ? i understand nothing about what it's doing... Do iPads have amd gpus ??
iPad <- Thunderbolt cable -> GPU in external enclousre

what's with this driver being coupled to an IDE? is one the psychosis enabled bikeshed of the other?
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?
