Geramy/LemonSeed-Studio

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.

LemonSeed Studio is an iPad IDE app that bundles three components: the upstream Linux amdgpu/amdkfd driver repackaged as a PCIDriverKit extension to drive an AMD GPU in a Thunderbolt eGPU enclosure, the LemonSeed Engine for local LLM inference on that GPU, and a live GPU telemetry tool. It lets iPad users run code editing plus on-device LLM inference entirely locally.

Why now: It was featured on Hacker News for running the unmodified Linux amdgpu driver on an iPad — an unusual technical feat combining DriverKit and eGPUs.

Who it is for: Developers and tinkerers who want a portable iPad-based coding environment with private, local LLM inference on external AMD GPUs.
