The MLX (mlx) AI Model provider runs supported models on Apple Silicon through Enconvo’s local model runtime.

Use a local model

  1. Open Settings → AI Model → MLX (mlx).
  2. Open the model picker and select a supported model.
  3. Download the required resources when prompted, allowing enough disk space and memory for the selected model.
  4. Wait for setup to complete, then test a short text request.
  5. Review Temperature and Reasoning Effort when supported by the selected model.
Model files need an initial download; subsequent inference uses the local runtime. Model availability and hardware support depend on your build.

Other local capabilities

Enconvo also includes MLX providers for speech recognition, text-to-speech, embeddings, reranking, and OCR. Each capability has its own model selection. See the provider catalog. If loading fails, inspect the error, available memory and disk space, and the model’s hardware requirements. Start with a smaller model before increasing context or concurrency.
