Description
Go bindings for CoreML that let you build and run ML models on Apple Silicon from Go, no Python required.You construct models programmatically using CoreML's MIL intermediate language, then run them on the Neural Engine, GPU, or CPU. Also works as a GoMLX backend.

Could you build this?
No Writing Cgo bindings for Apple's proprietary CoreML framework and MIL intermediate representation requires deep expertise in low-level Apple Silicon runtime internals and cross-language memory management.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires Cgo bridges interfacing with Objective-C/Swift APIs to invoke Apple's CoreML and Metal runtimes, mapping CoreML Model Intermediate Language (MIL) representations directly to Go structs. The hardest part is correctly navigating undocumented or complex Apple C/Objective-C ABIs, managing cross-runtime garbage collection and memory pinning, and debugging low-level Neural Engine dispatch. This demands a systems engineer with specialized knowledge of Apple Silicon architectures and native Go/C interop.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
