The whole page is one index.html file, and it reads the mlx-community/mlx-model-explorer-data dataset. You can open it in a browser without installing anything. ### Who it suits It suits Mac owners who run models locally and want to know which MLX model and quantization fit their machine. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Software | Developers on a Mac | Find a model and quantization before downloading one | Look for a model that suits their Mac | | AI research | Researchers | Browse the models that the mlx-community shares | Compare the options on the page | | Hobby use | Local-AI fans | Choose a size that their Mac can handle | Open the page before trying a new model | If you do not use a Mac, you can skip it, since the page is about MLX models for Macs. ### Where to use it - A web browser, on the Space's page on Hugging Face - A web browser on Windows, macOS or Linux, from a local copy of index.html | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Pick a model | Mac users | A model and quantization that fit their Mac | | Browse the options | Researchers | A view of the models in the mlx-community dataset | ### How to set it up - A web browser, which is all the online page needs - Python with pip, only if you want the files on your own computer 1. Open the Space's page on Hugging Face to use it online. Nothing needs installing. 2. For a local copy, install the Hugging Face hub package with pip. 3. Download the Space's files into a folder named mlx-model-explorer. 4. Move into that folder and open index.html in a web browser. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download mlx-community/mlx-model-explorer --repo-type space --local-dir mlx-model-explorer cd mlx-model-explorer ``` ### How to use it Open the page and look through the models to find one that suits your Mac. The README gives no list of controls, so the page itself shows what you can filter or sort. ### Example You have a Mac and want to run a language model locally. Open the page, look for a model and a quantization that fit, and note which one to download. ### For newcomers and experts Open the page and look at the first few models. A quantization is a smaller version of a model that uses less memory, and the page helps you choose one that your Mac can hold. The repository holds only a README and index.html, and the data comes from the mlx-community/mlx-model-explorer-data dataset. The page is static, so it needs no server of its own. The source does not say how the data is refreshed. You open index.html in a browser → The page loads the explorer dataset → You look for a model and quantization → You pick one that suits your Mac ### Good to know The page only helps you choose a model and does not run one for you. - License: MIT - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the mlx-community/mlx-model-explorer-data dataset ## README ````markdown # MLX Model Explorer Helps Mac users find an MLX model and a quantization that suit their machine, in a static page that opens in any browser with nothing to install.
