InferrLM adds Apple Silicon MLX support

InferrLM now supports MLX on Apple Silicon devices, adding a native on-device inference path to its existing llama.cpp-based mobile AI stack. The open-source app stays aimed at advanced users who want local models, RAG, and network-shared access from their phone.

// ANALYSIS

InferrLM is quietly turning into infrastructure, not just another chat UI. MLX support matters because it adds a native Apple Silicon path and makes the local-AI stack feel more serious for power users.

  • Backend flexibility is the real win here: MLX only helps the Apple Silicon slice, but that is the group most sensitive to native performance and battery efficiency.
  • The app already bundles local inference, RAG, OCR, camera input, and a network server, so this release strengthens an already coherent workflow.
  • The first Reddit reply is already asking about specific MLX model compatibility, which is the practical question local-AI users care about.
  • Open-source status plus an AGPL license keep the implementation inspectable and forkable for people who want to tinker.
