What would you like to see?

Hello
will MLX native to Apple computers Framework be ever adopted ?

This native most memory efficient not to mentioned Speed Optimized in some cases x2 framework for local models.

It hurts to see Mac Version that is not using the best AI Framework there is.

Please consider to include that in the future release. We need optimization and speed for local models.

Thanks

Thanks for this , i will look into its, i just dont like complex setups. Could you share a complete command to run "mlx-community/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-6bit" mlx model with 64k context window size , i would like to try it but i dont know how to manage my custom HF model location and how to use default mlx model location in cache.

TIM any feedback on MLX built in support?

We do not build or maintain a custom LLM runtime. That is a whole job in and of itself - we focus on the application layer. That being said, you can use mlx-server and then use that via the Generic OAI connector we have and it will run on MLX.

Perfect, thats what i was looking for, i did not expect nor required custom LLM runtime when one is available from from Apple, i just wanted to make sure you have in Provider config option to select one. ( it would be nice to have it in the provider list and be able to detect if server mlx is running and allow to choose existing models ) thats it.
