UnverifiedOllama uses an architecture where a main process manages scheduling and inference is handed off to subprocesses: GGUF is handled by llama.cpp's llama-server process, and Apple Silicon has a separate MLX Runner.73% similarUnverifiedOllama has built its own first-party multimodal engine for vision models and runs via a native MLX path on Apple Silicon, no longer being merely a wrapper around llama.cpp.73% similarUnverifiedOllama and llama.cpp are currently the most widely used local inference tools on Apple Silicon.71% similarUnverifiedOn Macs with Apple Silicon chips, LM Studio's support for MLX makes its performance highly competitive, and in some scenarios it can even surpass Ollama.70% similarUnverifiedOllama has native support for MLX with deep optimization, making it the optimal inference framework choice for M-series chip Macs.70% similar
