Clojure and Python also have bindings to the Apache MXNet library. Is there a reason why you didn't use them in some of your projects?
Can Apple's M1 help you train models faster and cheaper than Nvidia's V100?

> But you still lose something, e.g. if you use half precision on V100 you get virtually double speed, if you do on a 1080 / 2080 you get... nothing because it's not supported.
That's not true. FP16 is supported and can be fast on 2080, although some frameworks fail to see the speed-up. I filed a bug report about this a year ago: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/17665
What consumer GPUs lack is ECC and fast FP64.
