Rapid-MLX is an open-source (Apache 2.0) OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible LLM inference server for Apple Silicon, built on MLX, focused on reliable tool calling for coding agents. Up to 4× faster than Apple's MLX (mlx-lm) on the same weights.

Local AI desktop app: a Chromium browser with a GPU-aware llama.cpp runtime, OpenAI-compatible API, AI chat and agents, Stable Diffusion image/video, TTS and music, plus an MCP server so Claude Code, Codex and Cline can drive your browser. Windows, macOS, Linux.

Open-source control panel for the real llama.cpp: see where a model lands in your VRAM before loading, every llama-server flag per model, one-click llama.cpp updates, several models at once, and Embers (local agents whose quotes are checked by code). Windows · Linux · macOS.

A private Claude-Code-style coding agent for Apple Silicon — run chat, code, and local model workflows on-device. MLX-native, Ollama/OpenAI API compatible, zero API keys.

Local-first AI chat client combining SillyTavern-style character cards, LM Studio-style GGUF model management, Ollama/OpenAI-compatible APIs, and an agentic workspace.

Local LLM chat panel for ComfyUI — LM Studio & Ollama, multi-session, vision support, Guide Materials
