iTunes was such a piece of garbage. It would literally get stuck in a login loop whenever you tried to open it and it was pretty unintuitive design. Apple Music is not perfect but 100x better than iTunes. However, I never bought Macs for Music. It has always just been the most ideal development machine.
Mojo is trying to create a new language to solve the problem, and specialized for CPU. We are using a more pragmatic way to solve GPU AI computation problem.
For bandwidth-bound problems like large language models, you could also solve it with properly written CPU kernels (Mojo) and usage of the AMX accelerators for compute-intensive parts.
I'd be more interested if they had a GPU port of Stable Diffusion, which is really compute-intensive. That's where the GPU has a major advantage over CPU, on lower-end chips like M1/M2 and M1/M2 Pro.

Mojo's SIMD execution model should map directly to GPUs. Instead of writing shaders thinking about a single GPU thread, you access the assembly ISA directly, thinking about an entire warp/simdgroup. That's how I think when writing SIMD-group matrix kernels anyway.
We developed AITemplate majorly for Meta's focus at that time, eg Ads/Ranking need. For HippoML is startup we are building for Generative AI. HippoML is not using AITemplate.
