About this page

This page reports that Ollama, a runtime system for local large language models, has introduced support for Apple's open-source MLX machine learning framework. Combined with improved caching performance and Nvidia's NVFP4 format support, this significantly enhances performance on Apple Silicon Macs. As developers face API rate limits and high subscription costs, local model experimentation is accelerating, particularly for coding tasks. The new MLX support is available in preview as Ollama 0.19, currently supporting Alibaba's Qwen3.5, and requires at least 32GB RAM on Apple Silicon-equipped systems.
