Ollama boosts Mac AI model performance with MLX

Ollama, a local large language model runtime, now supports Apple's MLX framework, significantly enhancing performance on Apple Silicon Macs. This update leverages unified memory more effectively and improves caching, alongside support for Nvidia's NVFP4 compression format. These advancements aim to make running sophisticated AI models locally more feasible and efficient, addressing user frustration with cloud service costs and rate limits. While still in preview and requiring substantial hardware like 32GB RAM, this development marks a notable step for Mac users seeking powerful, private AI processing capabilities.
