MLX Expands with Swift and C for Apple Silicon, Launches First App with CodeLlama 7B

The MLX software ecosystem, known for its array framework designed for machine learning research, has expanded its support to include new languages such as Swift and C, specifically targeting Apple silicon. This expansion aims to facilitate experimentation for ML researchers by leveraging the native performance and efficiency of Apple's unified GPU and CPU architecture. The MLX Swift and MLX C extensions are available under the MIT license, consistent with the rest of the MLX software ecosystem. Developers have already begun to utilize MLX Swift for projects, including a macOS Local LLM Chat SwiftUI App that operates without an internet connection, and the first app built with MLX Swift, which uses CodeLlama 7B to generate text locally and was open sourced just three days ago. The introduction of MLX Swift has been met with enthusiasm from the community, with developers highlighting the ease of writing code, the framework's potential for on-device machine learning applications, and the regular stream of feature releases from the MLX developers.
