MLX

Fact

Apple's machine learning array framework for Apple Silicon chips.

In Plain Words

MLX gives your Mac's CPU and GPU one shared cutting board. Both cooks grab from it directly. Nothing gets carried across the room.

It helps you train or tune models on Apple chips. It also helps run AI models locally.
