Ollama is now powered by MLX on Apple Silicon in preview · Ollama Blog
Ollama on Apple silicon is now built on top of Apple’s machine learning framework, MLX, to take advantage of its unified memory architecture.
This results in a large speedup of Ollama on all Apple Silicon devices. On Apple’s M5, M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, Ollama leverages the new GPU Neural Accelerators to accelerate both time to first token (TTFT) and generation speed (tokens per second).
