# maximpri/mlxtop

> A terminal monitor for local LLMs on Mac: shows running models, memory usage, GPU activity and generation speed. Works with oMLX, MLX-LM, Ollama, llama.cpp and other runtimes.

## Useful for

- Check whether a slow model reply coincides with GPU load or memory paging
- Compare memory usage when trying a larger model
- Get a text report over SSH with mlxtop --once

## Why it’s here

- The repository is 17 days old and already has 85 stars.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
