About the project

An open-source (Apache 2.0) LLM inference server for Apple Silicon built on MLX, exposing OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs and focused on reliable tool calling for coding agents. Claimed up to 4× faster than mlx-lm on the same weights.

Useful for
  • Point Claude Code or another agent at the local Anthropic-compatible endpoint
  • Run a local OpenAI-compatible server on a Mac for chat and tool calling without the cloud
  • Benchmark decode speed against mlx-lm or Ollama on your own M-series Mac

1.5 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 6, 2026, 13:38 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-06 (UTC), 11:46–13:31: 3912 → 3913 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +4 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • GitHub Trending Python today: #8, +16 stars.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
