First public release. macOS (Apple Silicon) desktop app and VS Code extension for running large language models locally through mlx-lm — with honest memory accounting before, during and after.
Install:
- Desktop app (primary): download the DMG below, open it, drag to Applications. Unsigned build — right-click → Open on first launch.
- VS Code extension: download the VSIX, then
code --install-extension mlx-console-gui-0.0.23.vsix.
Highlights of this build: the Info page as tabbed docs with rendered diagrams, Hugging Face search with exact sizes for every quantization family, conversion with bf16 and 5-bit options and up-front refusals for what mlx-lm cannot run, resumable downloads that survive kills and restarts, staged settings with an explicit Save, and the full API documented — including what is not on it.
See CHANGELOG.md for the detailed history.
