**TL;DR:** My last post about testing TinyGPU attracted some interest. This is the follow-up. The Blackwell card is detected and the driver loads, but NVIDIA's GSP firmware fails to boot through TB5 (known issue, I'm working with tinygrad on it). While debugging that, I went down a rabbit hole and discovered that Apple's RDMA subsystem accepts Metal GPU buffers for zero-copy network transfers — something nobody has documented. I also found hidden `ibv_reg_dmabuf_mr` symbols in Apple's libibverbs that suggest GPUDirect RDMA might be possible on macOS without any kernel modification. Here's eve...
