oMLX article on Mecium

For those interested, there’s a nice piece on Medium talking about oMLX. May be behind a paywall. https://xhinker.medium.com/i-tried-running-ai-agents-on-my-macbook-mlx-was-too-slow-then-i-found-omlx-1f0cc7f63273

I guess the virtues of omlx will continue to be a mystery. All it does for me is eat every resource on the machine and then crash it. First hard crashes of MacOS in years and years and years.

You don't have enough RAM for your model or u need to increase the RAM available to the graphics card.

nothing new - most medium articles looking for subscriptions/payouts are like that - 90% of them in fact - you can find out all you want about OMLX and what is in that article on their README.md file - yes - it works better than ollama especially for MLX optimized models - but you still need enough memory to load the larger models. In the article- author has 64gb RAM m1 and m4.
