+### DEV variable
+
+The `DEV` variable deserves special note due to its more nuanced syntax.
+`DEV` is used to specify the target device, target renderer and target architecture for said device, separated by colons.
+Specifying the renderer and architecture is optional, omitting a preference will cause tinygrad to automatically determine a suitable setting.
+The `DEV` variable may also be used to specify the interface through which to access the device (eg. `PCI`, `USB`). Interfaces may be specified preceding the target triple,
+separated by a plus (eg. `DEV=USB+AMD:LLVM`). Similarly as above, the interface may be omitted. Example usage follows:
+
+`DEV` contents | Interpretation

+AMD           | use the AMD device
+AMD:LLVM      | use the AMD device with the LLVM renderer

+# TinyGPU
+
+TinyGPU app lets you use AMD and NVIDIA GPUs on macOS over USB4/Thunderbolt with tinygrad.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- macOS (13.0+)
+- USB4/Thunderbolt port
+- A supported GPU (AMD RDNA3+ or NVIDIA Ampere+)
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Connect your GPU
+
+Plug the supported GPU into your Mac over USB4/Thunderbolt.
+
+### 2. Initiate the driver install
+
+> **Note:** If tinygrad is cloned but not installed, run commands with `PYTHONPATH=.`
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/master/extra/setup_tinygpu_osx.sh | sh
+```
+
+This downloads TinyGPU.app and triggers a system prompt to install the driver extension.
+
+### 3. Enable the driver
+
+You should see a system prompt: **"TinyGPU" would like to use a new driver extension**. Click **Open System Settings** and toggle TinyGPU on.
+
+If you missed the prompt, go to **System Settings > General > Login Items & Extensions > Driver Extensions** and toggle TinyGPU on.
+
+### 4. Compiler Setup
+
+#### AMD
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/master/extra/setup_hipcomgr_osx.sh | sh
+```
+
+#### NV
+
+Install [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) if you don't have it.
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/master/extra/setup_nvcc_osx.sh | sh
+```
+
+Make sure `~/.local/bin` is on your `PATH`:
+
+```bash
+export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
+```
+
+### 5. Use it!
+
+```bash
+DEV={AMD|NV} python3 -m tinygrad.llm
+```
+
+**Note:** Use `JITBEAM=2` to search for faster kernels (one-time search cost, results cached).
