MLX C

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 cmake

To build, run the following commands:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j

From the build/ directory, you can run an example that uses MLX C with ./example.
