# MLX
|
|
|
|
[MLX](https://ml-explore.github.io/mlx/build/html/index.html) is an array framework for machine learning on Apple silicon that also works with CUDA. On Apple silicon, arrays stay in shared memory to avoid data copies between CPU and GPU. Lazy computation enables graph manipulation and optimizations. Native [safetensors](https://huggingface.co/docs/safetensors/en/index) support means Transformers language models run directly on MLX.
|
|
|
|
Install the [mlx-lm](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-lm) library.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install mlx-lm transformers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Load any Transformers language model from the Hub as long as the model architecture is [supported](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/models). No weight conversion is required.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from mlx_lm import load, generate
|
|
|
|
model, tokenizer = load("openai/gpt-oss-20b")
|
|
output = generate(
|
|
model,
|
|
tokenizer,
|
|
prompt="The capital of France is",
|
|
max_tokens=100,
|
|
)
|
|
print(output)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Transformers integration
|
|
|
|
- [mlx_lm.load](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-lm?tab=readme-ov-file#python-api) loads safetensor weights and returns a model and tokenizer.
|
|
- MLX loads weight arrays keyed by tensor names and maps them into an MLX [nn.Module](https://ml-explore.github.io/mlx/build/html/python/nn/module.html#) parameter tree. This matches how Transformers checkpoints are organized.
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> The MLX Transformers integration is bidirectional. Transformers can also load and run MLX weights from the Hub.
