Running GLM-4.7-Flash on 4 x M4 Pro Mac Minis using EXO Labs. Uses tensor parallelism with RDMA over Thunderbolt & MLX backend (h/t Awni Hannun). Runs at 100 tok/sec. We're working on optimizing this at EXO Labs. Aiming to hit ~200 tok/sec on this setup soon.

we're turning University of Waterloo into a supercomputer! arceus is a cross-device distributed compute network for training large models, using model/tensor/pipeline parallelism. you can train anything, from deep neural networks to language models on the network. oss & deployment soon!

GLM-4.7-8bit (350GB) running at 19 toks/s on two M3 Ultra 512GB using Tensor Parallelism with EXO - MLX, versus 14 toks/s with single node. 🚀 Now context benchmarking & then OpenCode tests 🔥 Note: this is from sources, I had to change things to run it.

THIS DEVELOPER JUST RAN A TRILLION PARAMETER MODEL ON 4 MAC STUDIOS - 10X FASTER AND 5X CHEAPER THAN CLOUD CODE 19:00 he says it out loud. "we just ran a trillion parameter model. 30 something tokens per second. wow." RDMA over Thunderbolt made the cluster 10x faster than before. tensor parallelism splits the model between machines in parallel instead of sequentially DeepSeek V3 full size without quantization. 183GB per machine. still 25 tokens per second. faster than most people can read Kimi K2 with trillion parameters and 256,000 context window. loaded, responded and adapted memory usage dynamically based on prompt size 4 machines consuming 66 watts total. cloud GPU for the same workload costs $1,900/month a cluster that used to cost millions now assembled from Mac Studios in a few hours

APPLE RESEARCH SCIENTIST JUST SHOWED HOW 4 MAC STUDIOS RUN A TRILLION PARAMETER MODEL LOCALLY ZERO COSTS 13:18 she shows the main thing - connect 4 Mac Studios and you get 1TB of shared memory - exactly enough to run a trillion parameter model right on your desk Apple's library - and four machines start working as one cluster tensor parallelism: every machine holds part of every layer - all process the same token simultaneously - speed increases 3x compared to a single device fine-tuning: one Mac Studio processes 180 tokens per second four together process 600 and not a single byte of data leaves the room one command in the terminal - and a trillion parameter model answers from your desk and runs 24/7 data centers took years to build to run models like this - Apple did it with four Thunderbolt cables

mlx distributed uses mpi for machine to machine communication, and this is how you can handle uneven distribution of model layers. Thanks Awni Hannun for the help

M4 Mac AI Coding Cluster Uses EXO Labs to run LLMs (here Qwen 2.5 Coder 32B at 18 tok/sec) distributed across 4 M4 Mac Minis (Thunderbolt 5 80Gbps) and a MacBook Pro M4 Max. Local alternative to Cursor (benchmark comparison soon).

DeepSeek R1 (the 680B MOE) is ~20% faster in the latest mlx / mlx-lm. 4-bit model on 3 M2 Ultras generates 4k tokens at a respectable 15 toks/sec. Plus some QoL improvements: - Only downloads the local shard (much faster startup) - Distributed launcher ships with MLX

Running Qwen3 8B thinking on an iPhone Air with MLX. The model is quantized to 4-bit and runs pretty well.

Linear scaling achieved with multiple DeepSeek v3.1 instances. 4x macs = 4x throughput. 2x M3 Ultra Mac Studios = 1x DeepSeek @ 14 tok/sec 4x M3 Ultra Mac Studios = 2x DeepSeek @ 28 tok/sec DeepSeek V3.1 is a 671B parameter model - so at its native 8-bit quantization, it requires ~700GB of memory to run the model. EXO puts half of the layers on each device, combining their memory. EXO uses MLX distributed with TB5 interconnect, optimized for Apple Silicon. If we need higher throughput, adding two more devices lets us serve more users at once. EXO Labs handles all of this seamlessly - adding more devices to the cluster for linear scaling as we need it. The new EXO 1.0 will be open-source soonTM

Training LFMs at scale means solving parallelism across every layer of the architecture. And not all layers are the same. Our CTO Mathias Lechner (Mathias Lechner) sits down with Liquid's founding engineer Paul Pak (Paul Pak) to talk training infrastructure: Data, tensor, pipeline, expert, and context parallelism, and how they make context parallelism work across hybrid architectures with both attention and convolution operators.

I did it! It works! Using GLM-4.7-4bit with mlx_lm.server and opencode to fix real code locally! 🔥 Here single M3 Ultra 512GB, nex step phase will be 2 using Tensor Parallelism and then apply same changes to exo. Prefill is slow on a single machine, but generation is good.

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.

4 MAC MINIS RUNNING A 671B PARAMETER MODEL AS A CLUSTER No data center, no Cloud, no expensive hardware and not a single API call.. Just 4 Mac minis connected through EXO running DeepSeek v3.1 671b locally and actually fast. The part nobody talks about is that you don’t need one monster machine, you can cluster old computers you already have and split the load between them. The full breakdown of tools that make this possible is in the article below. Save and Read it today ↓
