An all-in-one Chat Playground using Apple MLX on Apple Silicon Macs.
- Privacy-enhanced AI: Chat with your favourite models and data securely.
- MLX Playground: Your all in one LLM Chat UI for Apple MLX
- Easy Integration: Easy integrate any HuggingFace and MLX Compatible Open-Source Models.
- Default Models: Llama-3, Phi-3, Yi, Qwen, Mistral, Codestral, Mixtral, StableLM (along with Dolphin and Hermes variants)
- Install Pip
- Install:
pip install chat-with-mlx
- Note: Setting up this way is really hard if you want to add your own model (which I will let you add later in the UI), but it is a fast way to test the app.
git clone https://github.com/qnguyen3/chat-with-mlx.git
cd chat-with-mlx
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
git clone https://github.com/qnguyen3/chat-with-mlx.git
cd chat-with-mlx
conda create -n mlx-chat python=3.11
conda activate mlx-chat
pip install -e .
- Start the app:
chat-with-mlx

- When the model is downloading by Solution 1, the only way to stop it is to hit
control + C
on your Terminal. - If you want to switch the file, you have to manually hit STOP INDEXING. Otherwise, the vector database would add the second document to the current database.
- You have to choose a dataset mode (Document or YouTube) in order for it to work.
- Phi-3-small can't do streaming in completions
MLX is an array framework for machine learning research on Apple silicon, brought to you by Apple machine learning research.
Some key features of MLX include:
-
Familiar APIs: MLX has a Python API that closely follows NumPy. MLX also has fully featured C++, C, and Swift APIs, which closely mirror the Python API. MLX has higher-level packages like
mlx.nn
andmlx.optimizers
with APIs that closely follow PyTorch to simplify building more complex models. -
Composable function transformations: MLX supports composable function transformations for automatic differentiation, automatic vectorization, and computation graph optimization.
-
Lazy computation: Computations in MLX are lazy. Arrays are only materialized when needed.
-
Dynamic graph construction: Computation graphs in MLX are constructed dynamically. Changing the shapes of function arguments does not trigger slow compilations, and debugging is simple and intuitive.
-
Multi-device: Operations can run on any of the supported devices (currently the CPU and the GPU).
-
Unified memory: A notable difference from MLX and other frameworks is the unified memory model. Arrays in MLX live in shared memory. Operations on MLX arrays can be performed on any of the supported device types without transferring data.
I would like to send my many thanks to:
- The Apple Machine Learning Research team for the amazing MLX library.
- LangChain and ChromaDB for such easy RAG Implementation
- All contributors
