MLX-VLM lets you run, chat with, and fine-tune Vision Language Models (VLMs) plus audio/video models on your Mac using MLX—install easily with `pip install -U mlx-vlm`. Use CLI for quick text/image/audio generation (e.g., `mlx_vlm.generate --model ... --image photo.jpg`), Gradio UI for chats, Python scripts, or a FastAPI server with OpenAI-compatible endpoints supporting multi-images/videos. Features like TurboQuant cut KV cache memory by 76%, and LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning works on consumer hardware. You benefit by experimenting with powerful multimodal AI locally—fast, memory-efficient, no cloud costs, perfect for Mac users tweaking models affordably.
