| ane_bridge_py.py — Python ctypes wrapper for libane_bridge.dylib | |
| Provides a Pythonic interface to Apple Neural Engine private APIs | |
| via the maderix/ANE C bridge library. Enables compiling and executing | |
| MIL programs on ANE hardware from Python. | |
| Usage: | |
| from ane_bridge_py import ANEBridge | |
| ane = ANEBridge() | |
| kernel = ane.compile_kernel(mil_text, weights, input_sizes, output_sizes) | |
| ane.write_input(kernel, 0, my_numpy_array) | |
| ane.eval(kernel) | |
| result = ane.read_output(kernel, 0, output_shape, dtype=np.float16) | |
| ane.free_kernel(kernel) | |
