Apple silicon · 16 GB
A polished 4B–8B local experience when the OS and apps have enough headroom.
Qwen3 14B
The highest listed result may be a tight or offloaded fit. For daily use, prefer the first result marked Confortable and keep context modest.
MLX LM
Native Apple silicon inference, experimentation and fine-tuning. Only for Apple silicon. Use an MLX-converted model and tune KV cache size for long contexts. The bundled mlx_lm.server is an OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint (default 127.0.0.1:8080), but upstream warns it implements only basic security checks and is not recommended for production.
