It describes support for Nvidia GPUs, Apple Silicon, CPUs, CUDA, OpenCL, and several planned library improvements. ### Source excerpt I've applied for Clojurists Together yearly funding in 2026. Here's my application. If you are a Clojurists Together member, and would like to see continued development in this area, your vote can help me keep working on this :) My goal with this funding in 2026 is to continuously develop Clojure AI, ML, and high-performance ecosystem of Uncomplicate libraries (Neanderhal and many more), on Nvidia GPUs, Apple Silicon, and traditional PC. In this year, I will also focus on writing tutorals on my blog and creating websites for the projects involved, which is something that I wanted for years, but didn't have time to do because I spent all time on programming. How that work will benefit the Clojure community This will highly benefit the Clojure community as this is THE AI ecosystem for Clojure, and supporting AI is arguably the main focus on probably all software platforms. Clojure has something to offer on that front, beyond just calling OpenAI API as a web service! Uncomplicate grew to quite a few libraries (of which some are quite big; just Neanderthal is 28,000 lines of highly-condensed, aggresively macroized, and reusable code): Diamond ONNX Runtime, Neanderthal, Deep Diamond, ClojureCUDA, ClojureCPP, Apple Presets, ClojureCL, Fluokitten, Bayadera, Clojure Sound, and Commons. Here's a word or two of how I hope to improve each of these libraries with Clojurists Together funding in 2026. Neanderthal (Clojure's alternative to NumPy, on steroids) In 2025, Neanderthal celebrated its 10th birthday. It started as a humble but fast matrix and vector library for Clojure, but after 10 years of relentless improvements, now it boasts a general matrix/vector/linear algebra API implemented by no less than 5(!) engines for CPUs, GPU (Nvidia CUDA), GPU (OpenCL: AMD, Intel, Nvidia), Apple Silicon (Accelerate), and general CPU (OpenBLAS). And this is not a superficial support for the sake of ticking a check box; each of these engines support much more operations on exotic structure ## Get Ready for Clojure, GPU, and AI in 2026 with CUDA 13.0 DevFeed: [Get Ready for Clojure, GPU, and AI in 2026 with CUDA 13.0]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2025-10-30T16:37:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Dragan Djuric]() Topics: [Clojure](), [CUDA](), [GPU](), [OpenCL]() Tags: [ai](), [c-plus-plus](), [clojure](), [coding](), [cuda](), [deep](), [diamond](), [gpu](), [opencl](), [tensors]() ### AI overview The article introduces ClojureCUDA 0.25.0, which supports CUDA 13.0.2, and encourages Clojure developers to try GPU programming interactively through the Clojure REPL. It explains that GPU acceleration is most useful for large vectors and sufficiently complex workloads because data transfer costs can outweigh computation gains. ### Source excerpt A little anniversary Did you know that CUDA has been available in Clojure for the last 9 years through ClojureCUDA, and GPU programming through OpenCL for more than 10? I almost forgot about these anniversaries. Ten years ago most people liked it a lot, starred it on Github, patted me on the back, but then concluded that they don't have an Nvidia card available on their laptops, or, if they had GPUs, that they won't have time to learn to think in massive parallel algorithms, or if they have time and will, that there are no GPUs in the servers, so what would they do with their applications, even if they created them in Clojure, and so on, and so off :) But, ClojureCUDA and ClojureCL continued living on for these 10 years, I used them in creating Neanderthal, Deep Diamond, and Diamond ML, and they proved themselves as simple and reliable tools. I still had trouble convincing Clojure programmers that they can write GPU programs that run as fast as they'd wrote them in C++, but interactively in the Cloujre REPL, without C++ hell. But I'm not easy to shake off! If it's necessary, I'll continue for 10 more years, for I'm convinced there'd be a moment when Clojure programmers are going to say "hmmm, this is something that we can use and be good at!". CUDA 13 is here! I've recently released ClojureCUDA 0.25.0, with support for the latest CUDA 13.0.2! Why not celebrate that by opening the REPL, and coding your first Hello World application on the GPU? I promise, it won't be a usual GPU carpet of text; this is ClojureCUDA, it follows the Clojure philosophy by being simple and interactive! There's not much sense in wielding a GPU to print out "Hello World". Note that it is also not very useful to work with scalar numbers and call a GPU function to add or multiply two numbers. No. Unless you have many, many, numbers to crunch, stay by your trusty CPU. For our purposes, many, many, numbers would be two vectors of dimension 3 (hey, it's hello world; imagine it's 3 billion).
