• 3

  Integrated image generation and editing capabilities alongside language models.

Description

vMLX is a local AI inference engine designed for Apple Silicon Macs that supports running LLMs, VLMs, and image generation models entirely on-device without cloud dependencies or API keys. It offers a fast, efficient inference engine with advanced caching, quantization, and tool calling features, enabling privacy-preserving AI usage. The project includes a native macOS desktop app (MLX Studio) for chat, model management, image generation/editing, and developer tools, making it accessible for developers and end users alike.
