MLX Examples

This repo contains a variety of standalone examples using the MLX framework.

The MNIST example is a good starting point to learn how to use MLX. Some more useful examples are listed below. Check-out MLX LM for a more fully featured Python package for LLMs with MLX.

Text Models

• Transformer language model training.
• Minimal examples of large scale text generation with LLaMA, Mistral, and more in the LLMs directory.
• A mixture-of-experts (MoE) language model with Mixtral 8x7B.
• Parameter efficient fine-tuning with LoRA or QLoRA.
• Text-to-text multi-task Transformers with T5.
• Bidirectional language understanding with BERT.

Image Models

• Generating images
  • FLUX
  • Stable Diffusion or SDXL
• Image classification using ResNets on CIFAR-10.
• Convolutional variational autoencoder (CVAE) on MNIST.

Audio Models

• Speech recognition with OpenAI's Whisper.
• Audio compression and generation with Meta's EnCodec.
• Music generation with Meta's MusicGen.

Multimodal models

• Joint text and image embeddings with CLIP.
• Text generation from image and text inputs with LLaVA.
• Image segmentation with Segment Anything (SAM).

Other Models

• Semi-supervised learning on graph-structured data with GCN.
• Real NVP normalizing flow for density estimation and sampling.
