Yeah I can see why they let it be that way, but the fact it is pretty undefined is what bugged me. I suppose it depends on what your goals are - efficiency vs reproducibility.
Also I did run a test of FP16 vs FP32 for a large matmul on the Apple GPU and the FP16 calculation was 1.28x faster so it makes sense that they'd go for FP16 as a default.
