* Make max op NaN propagation rules align with numpy * Adding benchmarks and testing for max op nanpropagation * Pre-commit formatting * Fix max complex64 nan propagation and add test * Improve the cpp unittest * Only check nans on non-integral types in simd_reduce_impl. * Cleanup using namespace alias * Add cpu Max nanpropagation. Fix a small fib in cpu max dispatch data types for int8/int16. * Make the max nanpropagation test more meaningful for integer types * Remove tuple unpacking syntax to comply with earlier python versions. Add cuda skip to nanpropagation tests, fix cuda implementation in a separate PR. |

MLX
Quickstart | Installation | Documentation | Examples
MLX is an array framework for machine learning on Apple silicon, brought to you by Apple machine learning research.
Some key features of MLX include:
-
Familiar APIs: MLX has a Python API that closely follows NumPy. MLX also has fully featured C++, C, and Swift APIs, which closely mirror the Python API. MLX has higher-level packages like
mlx.nnandmlx.optimizerswith APIs that closely follow PyTorch to simplify building more complex models. -
Composable function transformations: MLX supports composable function transformations for automatic differentiation, automatic vectorization, and computation graph optimization.
-
Lazy computation: Computations in MLX are lazy. Arrays are only materialized when needed.
-
Dynamic graph construction: Computation graphs in MLX are constructed dynamically. Changing the shapes of function arguments does not trigger slow compilations, and debugging is simple and intuitive.
-
Multi-device: Operations can run on any of the supported devices (currently the CPU and the GPU).
-
Unified memory: A notable difference from MLX and other frameworks is the unified memory model. Arrays in MLX live in shared memory. Operations on MLX arrays can be performed on any of the supported device types without transferring data.
MLX is designed by machine learning researchers for machine learning researchers. The framework is intended to be user-friendly, but still efficient to train and deploy models. The design of the framework itself is also conceptually simple. We intend to make it easy for researchers to extend and improve MLX with the goal of quickly exploring new ideas.
The design of MLX is inspired by frameworks like NumPy, PyTorch, Jax, and ArrayFire.
Examples
The MLX examples repo has a variety of examples, including:
- Transformer language model training.
- Large-scale text generation with LLaMA and finetuning with LoRA.
- Generating images with Stable Diffusion.
- Speech recognition with OpenAI's Whisper.
Quickstart
See the quick start guide in the documentation.
Installation
MLX is available on PyPI. To install the Python API, run:
With pip:
pip install mlx
With conda:
conda install -c conda-forge mlx
Checkout the documentation for more information on building the C++ and Python APIs from source.
