Just came across this rather interesting development:
It apparently works via a user space eGPU driver for this USB4 to PCIe x16 adapter and I'll hazard a guess that it will soon be featured in this open source project.
A Mac Studio Ultra paired with a RTX 5090 or RTX Pro 6000 would be one hell of a machine learning system. The timing here is also serendipitous since MLX now supports CUDA (on linux), so it's conceivable that it'll soon be possible to run MLX models in macOS on heterogeneous hardware.
Wild times!
