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.

Text Models

• Transformer language model training.
• Large scale text generation with LLaMA, Mistral, Phi-2, 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

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

Audio Models

• Speech recognition with OpenAI's Whisper.

Multimodal models

• Joint text and image embeddings with CLIP.

Other Models

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

Hugging Face

Note: You can now directly download a few converted checkpoints from the MLX Community organization on Hugging Face. We encourage you to join the community and contribute new models.
