Apple Silicon TRELLIS.2 Runtime

An optimized, native runtime for Microsoft's TRELLIS.2 image-to-3D model, enabling efficient execution on Apple Silicon (M-series) hardware without requiring CUDA or specialized GPU libraries. Problem: Complex, CUDA-dependent ML models like TRELLIS.2 are difficult or impossible to run natively on Apple Silicon, forcing users to rely on expensive cloud GPUs or incompatible hardware. Solution: This product provides a pre-optimized, pure-PyTorch implementation that runs efficiently on Apple Silicon, enabling local development, faster iteration, and reduced cloud costs for specific 3D gener
