> bitsandbytes does not yet support Apple Silicon / Metal with a dedicated backend. However, the build infrastructure is in place and the below pip install will eventually provide Apple Silicon support as it comes available on the `multi-backend-refactor` branch based on community contributions. If you're interested to work on this (we might even have limited funding the the Mozilla foundation), please contact us by tagging @Titus-von-Koeller and @matthewdouglas in a Github discussion on our repo.
