MLX C is a C API for MLX.
MLX is an array framework for machine learning on Apple silicon. MLX C expands MLX to the C language, making research and experimentation easier on Apple silicon.
MLX C can be used standalone or as a bridge to bind other languages to MLX. For example, the MLX Swift package uses MLX C to provide a Swift API to MLX.
For more information see the docs.
CMake is required to build MLX C. You can install it with Homebrew:
brew install cmakeTo build, run the following commands:
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -jFrom the build/ directory, you can run an example
that uses MLX C with ./example.
