Do iPhones or iPads count as ARM based devices?
Not quite sure if this hackathon targets iOS based devices, since even though Apple uses the ARM instruction set their silicon architecture I believe is significantly different from most other ARM devices on the market.
My question, therefore, is can iOS devices be counted in the hackathon scope, for example, can a model using Executorch -> CoreML backend also count as a model developed for ARM? Given that the model is novel and unpublished at the time of writing.

Hi! I'd imagine this is a common question. Anyone?
**tl:dr;** Are PyTorch models lowered to CoreML/MPS backends using Executorch eligible for submission?

Yes, anything that runs on the arm instruction set counts, including iOS devices!

Awesome!
