LemonSeed Studio runs the unmodified Linux amdgpu driver on an iPad

LemonSeed Studio is an iPad IDE that performs local LLM inference on an AMD GPU over Thunderbolt. It embeds the upstream Linux amdgpu driver as a DriverKit extension, adds the LemonSeed Engine for inference, and provides live GPU telemetry. The project also supports WASIX targets, a SwiftUI code editor, and remote control, all in a single iPad app.

An iPad IDE with local LLM inference on an AMD GPU over Thunderbolt: the upstream Linux amdgpu driver embedded as DriverKit, LemonSeed Engine, and live GPU telemetry.

    Why are there no screenshots of the "IDE"? Would love to see what it looks like, what features it has, etc.
