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.

Kimi K2.5 1T runs on 2 M3 Ultras with mlx-lm in it's native precision. It's actually quite usable. Here it's making a space invaders game. Generated 3856 tokens at 21.9 tok/sec using 350GB per machine. Thanks to Tarjei Mandt for the port.

The new 1 Trillion parameter Kimi K2 Thinking model runs well on 2 M3 Ultras in its native format - no loss in quality! The model was quantization aware trained (qat) at int4. Here it generated ~3500 tokens at 15 toks/sec using pipeline-parallelism in mlx-lm:

GLM-5 runs with mlx-lm on a single 512GB M3 Ultra in Q4. It's quite good in my initial testing and pretty fast as well. It generated a highly functional space invaders game using 7.1k tokens at 15.4 tok/s and 419GB memory. Thanks to Gökdeniz Gülmez and Tarjei Mandt for the port.

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?

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.

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

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.

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):

A long time coming but new mlx-lm is here with better batching support in the server and Gemma 4. pip install -U mlx-lm Here is a video where a single M3 Ultra serves 5 opencode sessions with Gemma 4 26B that process ~130k tokens in ~1.5 minutes.

Qwen3.5 runs quite well in mlx-lm. Awesome that we have a frontier-level hybrid model. The context gets longer but the inference speed and memory use barely change. Here's the Q4 generating a space invaders game on an M3 Ultra. Generated 4,120 tokens at 37.6 tok/s.
