MLX Forge

The complete AI laboratory for Apple Silicon. The entire model lifecycle โ€” from Hugging Face discovery to a production endpoint โ€” in one native app on Apple's MLX framework.

macOS 14+ (Sonoma) ยท Apple Silicon only โ€” refuses to launch on Intel

One pipeline, nine stages

Click a stage โ€” every one is a first-class studio in the app.

No-code at the start, full code at the end

The one non-negotiable principle: every visual action can emit the equivalent reproducible code โ€” Python mlx-lm, Swift MLX, CLI, or curl.

python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8080/v1", api_key="mlxf-โ€ฆ")
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen3-14b-4bit",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from my own silicon"}],
    stream=True,
)
