MLX Swift Examples
github.comA collection of example iOS and macOS applications and command-line tools built with MLX Swift, showing how to train and run language models, vision-language models and other machine learning workloads on Apple hardware.
xTuring
xturing.stochastic.aiA library for fine-tuning, evaluating, and running personalized, private open-source large language models locally or in a private cloud.
dLLM
arxiv.orgA library that unifies training, inference, and evaluation of diffusion language models, aiming to make that pipeline transparent and reproducible.
A free, open-source Android app for chatting with LLMs, running GGUF models locally via llama.cpp or connecting to remote providers such as Anthropic, DeepSeek, Ollama, and OpenAI.
Lucebox
lucebox.comA speculative-inference server with custom GPU kernels tuned for running large language models faster on consumer and heterogeneous hardware.
