Ohhhh snapppppp! Excitement level just shot way up. Thank you.

God, it’ll be nice having a gpu for tensorflow. I’ve dreamed about this for like… a long time.

Got it running! I posted detailed instructions here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27445555

Ahh, I've never had a local GPU before. Thank you Apple Santa Claus, whoever your team is.

Maybe someday they'll external GPU support too, unless it's too tall of an order for Apple.
