MLX Swift inference engine improvements to be ported open-source; run local Qwen via built-in LM server

gajesh · x · 2026-08-20

Answering how to use faster MLX models locally (e.g., Qwen with Yukon improvements), gajesh says the inference engine improvements will be ported to Layr-Labs' mlx-swift-lm repo after the challenge ends—some already have been. It includes an LM server hosted on Lombarte.

The immediate path is asking Claude/Codex to start or import the server within MLX Swift LM for the qwen-3.8 challenge repo; a better out-of-the-box usage flow is promised soon.
