MLX / Apple Silicon AI

A collection of tools, frameworks, and models built on or optimized for Apple’s MLX array framework and the Neural Engine (ANE) on Apple Silicon. MLX is Apple’s answer to PyTorch/JAX for the M-series chip, with lazy evaluation, unified memory, and first-class Python bindings.
