I’m not familiar with Metal, but most ML pkgs in Julia that support arrays support any `AbstractArray`, and so I expect should work with the `MtlArray` objects as a special case. Perhaps try a simple linear model from GLM.jl or Flux.jl to start with. For ML tools that consume tables (eg. MLJ.jl) you can wrap using `Tables.table(X)` or `Tables.table(adjoint(X))` as appropriate. The `Tables.table` method is provided by Tables.jl

I’m not aware of any Julia ML packages that specifically tailor algorithms to `MltArray`s, but they may exist.

Metal does not have FFT, so no cnn?
