Documents the platform decision for macOS machines: macOS (including Apple silicon) is a CPU training worker by design. Training runs inside Linux containers, which on macOS run in a virtual machine with no access to the Apple GPU — so the GPU is unreachable regardless of device selection. Part of the distributed-training work.

Changes

  • environment-setup/configuration.mdx — expanded the macOS subsection under GPU Support to cover Apple silicon explicitly and explain why the Apple GPU is not used, pointing GPU users to NVIDIA on Linux or Windows (WSL2).
  • environment-setup/deployment-environments.mdx — noted macOS is CPU-only in the Local / k3d row of the environments table.
