Apple's [list of compatible versions](https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/) is now out of date. > [!Warning] > This doesn't **fully** work currently. Training calls will cause an error like this: `tensorflow.python.framework.errors_impl.NotFoundError: Graph execution error:`, but it's enough to get TF working for non-training workflows.
