UnverifiedOllama has built its own first-party multimodal engine for vision models and runs via a native MLX path on Apple Silicon, no longer being merely a wrapper around llama.cpp.76% similarUnverifiedOllama uses an architecture where a main process manages scheduling and inference is handed off to subprocesses: GGUF is handled by llama.cpp's llama-server process, and Apple Silicon has a separate MLX Runner.75% similarVerifiedOllama v0.40.0 enables the MLX runtime by default on Apple Silicon chips to perform model inference.72% similarUnverifiedBoth Ollama and LM Studio rely on llama.cpp, an open-source inference engine, at their core, and both have good support for Apple Silicon's Metal acceleration and NVIDIA's CUDA acceleration.70% similarUnverifiedOn Macs with Apple Silicon chips, LM Studio's support for MLX makes its performance highly competitive, and in some scenarios it can even surpass Ollama.69% similar
