# Check specific model
-```
-
-#### `server` - Start API Server
-```bash
-mlxk server # Start on localhost:8000
-mlxk server --port 8001 # Custom port
-mlxk server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 # Allow external access
-mlxk server --max-tokens 4000 # Set default max tokens (default: 2000)
-mlxk server --reload # Development mode with auto-reload
-```
-
-### Command Aliases
-After installation, these commands are equivalent:
-- `mlxk` (recommended)
-- `mlx-knife`
-- `mlx_knife`
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Cache Location
-By default, models are stored in `~/.cache/huggingface/hub`. Configure with:
+All commands support `@hash` syntax for specific model versions:
```bash
-# Set custom cache location
-export HF_HOME="/path/to/your/cache"
-
-# Example: External SSD
-export HF_HOME="/Volumes/ExternalSSD/models"
+mlxk-json health "Qwen3@e96" --json # Check specific hash
+mlxk-json show "model@3df9bfd" --json # Short hash matching
+mlxk-json rm "Phi-3@e967" --json --force # Delete specific version
```
-### Model Name Expansion
-Short names are automatically expanded for MLX models:
-- `Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-4bit` â `mlx-community/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-4bit`
-- Models already containing `/` are used as-is
+## HuggingFace Cache Safety
-## Advanced Usage
+MLX-Knife 2.0 respects standard HuggingFace cache structure and practices:
-### Generation Parameters
+### Best Practices for Shared Environments
+- **Read operations** (`list`, `health`, `show`) always safe with concurrent processes
+- **Write operations** (`pull`, `rm`) coordinate during maintenance windows
+- **Lock cleanup** automatic but avoid during active downloads
+- **Your responsibility:** Coordinate with team, use good timing
+
+### Example Safe Workflow
+```bash
+# Check what's in cache (always safe)
+mlxk-json list --json | jq '.data.count'
+
+# Maintenance window - coordinate with team
+mlxk-json rm "corrupted-model" --json --force
+mlxk-json pull "replacement-model" --json
+
+# Back to normal operations
+mlxk-json health --json | jq '.data.summary'
+```
+
+## Real-World Examples
+
+> **đ Integration Reference**: External projects should implement against [docs/json-api-specification.md](docs/json-api-specification.md) - this alpha phase helps validate that specification matches actual implementation.
+
+### Broke-Cluster Integration
+```bash
+# Get available model names for scheduling
+MODELS=$(mlxk-json list --json | jq -r '.data.models[].name')
+
+# Check cache health before deployment
+HEALTH=$(mlxk-json health --json | jq '.data.summary.healthy_count')
+if [ "$HEALTH" -eq 0 ]; then
+ echo "No healthy models available"
+ exit 1
+fi
+
+# Download required models
+mlxk-json pull "mlx-community/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-4bit" --json
+```
+
+### CI/CD Pipeline Usage
+```bash
+# Verify model integrity in CI
+mlxk-json health --json | jq -e '.data.summary.unhealthy_count == 0'
+
+# Clean up CI artifacts
+mlxk-json rm "test-model-*" --json --force
+
+# Pre-warm cache for deployment
+mlxk-json pull "production-model" --json
+```
+
+### Model Management Automation
+```bash
+# Find models by pattern
+LARGE_MODELS=$(mlxk-json list --json | jq -r '.data.models[] | select(.name | contains("30B")) | .name')
+
+# Show detailed info for analysis
+for model in $LARGE_MODELS; do
+ mlxk-json show "$model" --json --config | jq '.data.model_config'
+done
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The test suite provides comprehensive coverage with production-quality isolation:
```bash
-# Creative writing (high temperature, diverse output)
-mlxk run Mistral-7B "Write a story" --temperature 0.9 --top-p 0.95
+# Run all tests
+python -m pytest tests_2.0/ -v
-# Precise tasks (low temperature, focused output)
-mlxk run Phi-3-mini "Extract key points" --temperature 0.3 --top-p 0.9
+# Test categories:
+# - ADR-002 edge cases (13 tests)
+# - Integration scenarios (12 tests)
+# - Model naming logic (9 tests)
+# - Robustness testing (11 tests)
-# Long-form generation
-mlxk run Mixtral-8x7B "Explain quantum computing" --max-tokens 2000
-
-# Reduce repetition
-mlxk run model "prompt" --repetition-penalty 1.2
+# Current status: 45/45 passing â
```
-### Working with Specific Commits
+**Revolutionary Test Architecture:**
+- **Isolated Cache System** - Zero risk to user data
+- **Atomic Context Switching** - Production/test cache separation
+- **Comprehensive Mock Models** - Realistic test scenarios
+- **Edge Case Coverage** - All documented failure modes tested
-```bash
-# Use specific model version
-mlxk show model@commit_hash
-mlxk run model@commit_hash "prompt"
-```
+## Known Issues & Limitations
-### Non-MLX Model Handling
+### Critical Issues
+- **Health Check False Positive**: Health check may report incomplete downloads as healthy during model pull operations (affects both 1.1.0 and 2.0.0-alpha)
-The tool automatically detects framework compatibility:
-```bash
-# Attempting to run PyTorch model
-mlxk run bert-base-uncased
-# Error: Model bert-base-uncased is not MLX-compatible (Framework: PyTorch)!
-# Use MLX-Community models: https://huggingface.co/mlx-community
-```
+### Alpha Limitations
+- No interactive prompts (use `--force` flag for rm operations)
+- JSON output only (no human-readable formatting)
+- Limited error message user experience (coming in beta)
-## Troubleshooting
+### GitHub Issues
+- **Issue #18**: Server signal handling limitation (known, will fix in 2.0.0-rc)
+- **Issue #24**: Lock cleanup command (planned for future release)
-### Model Not Found
-```bash
-# If model isn't found, try full path
-mlxk pull mlx-community/Model-Name-4bit
+## Development Status
-# List available models
-mlxk list --all
-```
+### Version Roadmap
+- **2.0.0-alpha** â You are here (JSON API core complete)
+- **2.0.0-beta**: 6-8 weeks robust testing, production validation
+- **2.0.0-rc**: Server/run features, full 1.x parity
+- **2.0.0-stable**: Community validated, enterprise ready
-### Performance Issues
-- Ensure sufficient RAM for model size
-- Close other applications to free memory
-- Use smaller quantized models (4-bit recommended)
-
-### Streaming Issues
-- Some models may have spacing issues - this is handled automatically
-- Use `--no-stream` for batch output if needed
+### Architecture Decisions
+- **JSON-First**: All output structured for scripting and automation
+- **Cache Safety**: Respects HuggingFace standards, no custom formats
+- **Atomic Operations**: Clean separation between test and production contexts
+- **Backward Compatibility**: Parallel deployment with 1.x maintained

+
+## Deployment Strategy
+
+### Broke-Cluster POC Environment
+
+**Parallel Deployment Architecture:**
+```bash
+# System-wide: MLX-Knife 1.1.0 (stable server functionality)
+pip install mlx-knife==1.1.0
+
+# Local development: MLX-Knife 2.0.0-alpha (JSON management)
+pip install -e /path/to/mlx-knife-2.0 # Local install
+```
+
+**Usage Pattern:**
+```bash
+# Server operations: Use 1.x (stable, proven)
+mlxk server --model "Phi-3-mini" --port 8000
+
+# Management operations: Use 2.0.0-alpha (JSON automation)
+mlxk-json list --json | jq '.data.models[].name'
+mlxk-json health --json | jq '.data.summary'
+mlxk-json pull "new-model" --json
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- â
**Risk mitigation**: Server stability maintained with 1.x
+- â
**Feature validation**: JSON API tested in production environment
+- â
**Gradual migration**: Teams can adopt 2.0 features incrementally
+- â
**Rollback safety**: Can disable 2.0 without affecting server operations
+
+### Package Naming Strategy
+
+**Development Phase:**
+- `mlx-knife` (1.1.0) - Stable production version
+- `mlxk2` / `mlxk-json` - Development 2.0.0-alpha local install
+
+**Production Phase:**
+- `mlx-knife` (2.0.0+) - New major version
+- `mlx-knife-v1` (1.1.0) - Legacy support if needed
+
+## Quality Gates Summary

+
+## Risk Mitigation
+
+### HuggingFace Cache Compatibility (CRITICAL)
+
+**Apple MLX Team & HuggingFace Hub Integration:**
+- **~20+ MLX ecosystem users** depend on cache stability
+- **HuggingFace Hub attention** - changes monitored by upstream
+- **Cache structure**: MLX-Knife follows HuggingFace standards
+
+**Cache Safety Guidelines:**
+```markdown
+### Shared Cache Environment Best Practices
+- **Read operations** (`list`, `health`, `show`): Always safe with concurrent processes
+- **Write operations** (`pull`, `rm`): Coordinate with team during maintenance windows
+- **Lock cleanup**: Automatic in MLX-Knife, avoid during active HuggingFace downloads
+- **User responsibility**: Coordinate cache access, no special flags needed
+```
+
+### Parallel Deployment Risks
+- **Configuration conflicts**: Different cache paths, environment variables
+- **User confusion**: Clear naming and documentation required
+- **Maintenance burden**: Supporting two codebases temporarily
+
+### Mitigation Strategies
+- **Clear separation**: Different package names, installation paths
+- **Comprehensive docs**: Usage examples, best practices, cache guidelines
+- **Automated testing**: Both versions in CI/CD pipeline
+- **Community support**: Active communication about roadmap
+
+## Decision Authority
+
+**Architecture Decisions:** Development team consensus required
+**Version Releases:** Lead maintainer approval + community review
+**Breaking Changes:** Major version bump + migration period
+**Support Policy:** LTS for stable versions, best-effort for pre-release
+
+---
+
+This versioning strategy provides a clear path from current alpha-quality code to production-ready 2.0.0 while maintaining stability through parallel deployment with 1.x versions.

+# Issue #26 Summary: Embeddings Endpoint Implementation
+
+## Issue Overview
+**Title**: Add `/v1/embeddings` endpoint for OpenAI-compatible embedding generation
+**Type**: Feature Request
+**Status**: Open
+**Complexity**: Medium (4-6 hours estimated)
+
+## Original Issue Description
+
+### Core Requirements
+Add a new `/v1/embeddings` endpoint to MLX-Knife's server that provides stateless embedding generation for previously pulled MLX models.
+
+### Key Design Principles
+- **Stateless Operation**: No vector database, no memory, no intelligent model auto-selection
+- **OpenAI Compatibility**: Standard JSON response format matching OpenAI embeddings API
+- **Context-Free Server**: Simple load-model-and-return-vectors operation
+- **User Responsibility**: Client manages model selection, vector storage, and reindexing
+
+### Endpoint Specification
+```
+POST /v1/embeddings
+```
+
+#### Request Parameters
+- `model` (required): Name of the embedding model to use
+- `input` (required): String or array of strings to embed
+- `encoding_format` (optional): Response format - "float" or "base64"
+- `normalize` (optional): Whether to normalize embeddings (default: true)
+- `max_length` (optional): Maximum input length limit
+
+#### Response Format
+Standard OpenAI-compatible JSON structure:
+```json
+{
+ "object": "list",
+ "data": [
+ {
+ "object": "embedding",
+ "index": 0,
+ "embedding": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...]
+ }
+ ],
+ "model": "model-name",
+ "usage": {
+ "prompt_tokens": 10,
+ "total_tokens": 10
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Use Cases
+- **Agent Frameworks**: Integration with AI agent systems requiring embeddings
+- **RAG Pipelines**: Retrieval-Augmented Generation implementations
+- **External Clients**: Third-party tools needing embedding generation
+- **Semantic Search**: Applications requiring text similarity matching
+
+### Boundaries & Limitations
+- **No Persistence**: Server doesn't store or remember embeddings
+- **No Auto-Selection**: User must specify exact model name
+- **No Quality Assurance**: User responsible for model appropriateness
+- **Single Response**: Always returns complete JSON (non-streaming)
+
+## Follow-Up Comment: CLI Integration
+
+### Additional CLI Requirement
+The original author added a follow-up comment requesting a complementary CLI subcommand alongside the server endpoint:
+
+```bash
+mlxk embed --input "text content"
+```
+
+### CLI Specifications
+- **Non-Streaming**: Always returns complete JSON response
+- **Input Options**: Support both `--input "text"` and `--input-file path/to/file`
+- **OpenAI-Compatible Output**: Same JSON structure as server endpoint
+- **Separation of Concerns**: Keep `mlxk run` command for generative models only
+
+### CLI Use Cases
+- **Development Testing**: Quick embedding generation during development
+- **Batch Processing**: File-based embedding generation
+- **Scripting**: Integration with shell scripts and automation
+- **Local Processing**: Offline embedding generation without server
+
+## Technical Implementation Strategy
+
+### Architecture Pattern
+Follow the existing `run` command architecture:
+- **Shared Core**: `embed_model_core()` function used by both CLI and server
+- **CLI Wrapper**: `embed_model()` in `cache_utils.py` (similar to `run_model()`)
+- **Server Endpoint**: `/v1/embeddings` route (similar to `/v1/chat/completions`)
+
+### Reusable Components
+- `resolve_single_model()` for model path resolution
+- `detect_framework()` for MLX compatibility checking
+- `get_or_load_model()` for server-side model caching
+- Existing error handling and response patterns
+
+### File Structure
+- `mlx_knife/embedding_utils.py` - Core embedding logic
+- `mlx_knife/cache_utils.py` - CLI wrapper function
+- `mlx_knife/cli.py` - CLI command definitions
+- `mlx_knife/server.py` - REST endpoint implementation
+
+## Expected Benefits
+
+### For Users
+- **Unified Interface**: Consistent embedding access via CLI and API
+- **OpenAI Compatibility**: Drop-in replacement for OpenAI embedding API
+- **Local Processing**: No external API dependencies for embedding generation
+- **Model Flexibility**: Use any compatible MLX embedding model
+
+### For Ecosystem
+- **Integration Ready**: Standard API for external tool integration
+- **Development Friendly**: Easy testing and experimentation via CLI
+- **Stateless Design**: Scalable and predictable behavior
+- **Performance**: Direct MLX backend without additional abstraction layers
+
+## Compatibility Considerations
+
+### MLX Framework
+- Requires MLX-compatible embedding models
+- Leverages existing MLX model loading infrastructure
+- Benefits from MLX performance optimizations
+
+### OpenAI API
+- Request/response format matches OpenAI embeddings API
+- Parameter names and behavior consistent with OpenAI
+- Easy migration from OpenAI to local MLX-Knife
+
+### Existing Codebase
+- Follows established architectural patterns
+- Reuses existing model resolution and error handling
+- Maintains separation between generative (`run`) and embedding functionality
+
+## Implementation Priority
+**Medium Priority** - Valuable feature that extends MLX-Knife's capabilities without disrupting existing functionality. The stateless design and reuse of existing patterns makes this a relatively low-risk addition with clear user benefits.
