scikit-learn's CPU-bound dependencies have become a decade-old bottleneck

Probabl AI explains that for a decade scikit-learn has delegated computation to NumPy, SciPy, and Cython — all CPU-designed — locking scikit-learn workflows to CPUs. That design is now a bottleneck, motivating the Python array API standard as the fix.
