mlxrunner
The backend runtime used by Ollama targeting Apple Silicon (M-series chip) devices, optimized for local large language model inference on Mac hardware.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The voice catalog was introduced and listed by mlxrunner, indicating that the current implementation focus of Phonon speech capabilities is the Apple platform.
mlxrunner is Ollama's inference execution layer for Apple Silicon, relying on Apple's MLX array/neural network framework underneath and optimized specifically for the unified memory architecture.
Phonon is the name of an engine/component internal to Ollama used to carry speech capabilities, loaded and scheduled by mlxrunner (a model runner based on the Apple MLX framework); it is not a publicly known third-party speech model brand.
The name mlxrunner typically refers to an "MLX-based model runner", positioned to load and execute model inference on local devices.
The commit contains two substantive changes: "mlxrunner: import and list Phonon catalog voices" and "docs: document Phonon voices".
The import and listing functionality for the Phonon voice catalog is implemented in the mlxrunner module.
v0.34.4-rc1 upgrades the XGrammar library in mlxrunner to version 0.2.7.
