The new Qwen 3.5 by Qwen running on-device on iPhone 17 Pro. Qwen 3.5 beats models 4 times its size, has strong visual understanding, and can toggle reasoning on or off. The 2B 6-bit model here is running with MLX optimized for Apple Silicon.

Run Qwen-TTS on Your Mac, natively. Blaine Brown has created Qwen3-TTS MLX WebUI Enhanced, a Web UI for running Qwen-TTS using the Mac-native MLX framework, powered by MLX-Audio from Prince Canuma, it runs very smooth! 1-click install on pinokio (Apple Silicon Macs)

This is MiniMax-M2.5 MLX running in LM Studio on an Apple Mac Studio M3 Ultra 512GB. Fast enough out of the box for hosting OpenClaw, n8n workflows, and Open WebUI for the team.

Made a demo to do test-time-scaling with mlx-lm and a R1-based reasoning model. Same idea as S1: - To force a response, swap "Wait" for "</think>" - To think more, swap "</think>" for "Wait" Runs fast with 4-bit Qwen 32B on an M3 max:

Running Ring 1T reasoning model on a single M3 Ultra with mlx-lm. It's quantized to 3.5 bits-per-weight. Uses 440GB and generated ~6k tokens at 18.2 toks/sec. Getting closer to GPT-5 at home.

GLM-4.7 runs quite well on an M3 Ultra with mlx-lm, even at a near lossless precision (6-bit here). It generated the best space invaders game I've seen yet for a local model (even included sound effects!). Generated 6600 tokens and ran at 16 tok/s.

Nemotron 3 Nano runs nicely with mlx-lm on an M4 Max. Could be a great model for local use on Mac: MoE + hybrid attention make it fast even for very long context. Generating in realtime with 4-bit model:

GLM 4.6 runs quite fast on an M3 Ultra with mlx-lm even at higher precision. Pretty remarkable that it benchmarks competitive to the just-released Sonnet 4.5. Hope those benchmarks hold-up in day-to-day use. Here's a run using 5.5 bpw quantized model, generating 5.3k tokens at 17+ tok/sec using 244 GB. What prompts should I test?

Qwen 32B (4-bit) generates at >40 toks/sec on an M4 Max with assisted decoding and Qwen 0.5B as the draft model. Coming soon to mlx-lm. Compare regular decoding (left) to assisted decoding (right):

The new Qwen 3.5 4B runs incredibly well on M5. The model is close to GPT-4o in benchmarks. Running fully on-device with MLX.
