MLX Studio Brings Local LLM and Image Generation to Apple Silicon Macs With Open-Source Backend

MLX Studio, a macOS desktop application that runs large language, vision-language and image-generation models entirely on-device, has drawn fresh attention after being spotlighted by developers as a full local-AI stack for Apple Silicon. Built on Apple's MLX framework, the app promises to keep inference offline once models are downloaded, positioning it against established local-AI tools such as LM Studio and Ollama.
