[Metal] Fall back to the system default device (#24839) On an M5 Max running macOS 26.6 inside a Codex sandbox, we observed `MTLCopyAllDevices()` return an empty array in a fresh process even though `MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice()` returned a valid device. IREE snapshots the first enumeration result when creating its Metal driver, so an initially empty result leaves that driver permanently without devices. Instead, when enumeration is empty, we use the default device as a one-device fallback. Fixes #24834. AI assistance disclosure: I used OpenAI Codex substantially to inspect the implementation, trace the failure, implement the change, and prepare this PR (but not write this description). I reviewed and understand the resulting code and analysis. --------- Signed-off-by: Jeremy Howard <github@jhoward.fastmail.fm>
IREE (Intermediate Representation Execution Environment, pronounced as “eerie”) is an MLIR-based end-to-end compiler and runtime that lowers Machine Learning (ML) models to a unified IR that scales up to meet the needs of the datacenter and down to satisfy the constraints and special considerations of mobile and edge deployments.
