#  LunarG Achieves Vulkan 1.3 Conformance with KosmicKrisp on Apple Silicon 

  October 31st at 2:36pm

 KosmicKrisp, LunarG’s Vulkan-to-Metal driver for Apple Silicon, has passed the Vulkan Conformance Test Suite (CTS), a rigorous, Khronos-mandated benchmark of API correctness. Thus, KosmicKrisp is now a Khronos Vulkan conformant product for Vulkan 1.3. This isn’t a portability layer with caveats. This is a spec-compliant Vulkan 1.3 running natively on macOS 15+ via Metal — achieved in just 10 months from the start of the project.
