MTPLX is a native Mac app and a command line that runs local language models on Apple Silicon with the model's own multi-token prediction (MTP) heads. It runs Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, the 125B mixture of experts, Qwen 3.8 27B and Prism ML's Ternary Bonsai 2 27B, plus Qwen 3.6, Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 4. The model drafts several tokens ahead of itself, one batched forward pass verifies the draft, and tokens are committed through exact rejection sampling with residual correction. The sampler works at the model's native temperature, and decode runs at around twice the speed of plain decoding: measured 1.6x on a 16 GB M4 Mac mini and 2.24x on an M5 Max.
Every number below was measured on a MacBook Pro M5 Max with 128 GB, fans verified at maximum, sampled at the model's own settings. Conditions and sources for every row, with the raw logs where they exist, are at mtplx.com/benchmarks.

MTPLX uses rejection sampling with residual correction at the model's native temperature. For 2.11.3, MTPLX compared a thousand four-token samples from the fast path with a thousand from the plain path at temperature 1, top-p 0.95 and top-k 20, by token id. Those measurements matched within the plain path's own noise on both Flash Next and the 27B Quality pack. From 2.12.0, image requests also use the compiled verifier, and that sampled comparison has not yet been repeated for images. The acceptance rule follows the Leviathan and Chen rejection sampling theorem; numerical equivalence of the model's execution paths is checked separately. There is no second draft model eating your RAM, and no greedy shortcut that quietly changes what the model would have said.

The Mac app is the easiest way in. Download the DMG at mtplx.com, drag it to Applications, and the app takes care of everything else: it checks your hardware, recommends a model that actually fits your memory, downloads it, sets up its own Python engine (no Homebrew needed), installs fan control, puts mtplx on your PATH, and then measures your machine to pick the fastest decoding depth.
Recommended for coding: Qwen 3.8 27B Optimized Speed is a 4-bit dynamic quant with great coding speeds and good quality. Its two siblings sit right under it in the app and CLI: Bare Speed (quickest burst chat speeds, lower quality and slower on long coding tasks) and Optimized Quality (8-bit dynamic quant, the highest fidelity of the three). Qwen 3.8 Flash Next is offered as Bare Speed from 96 GB and as Optimized Speed from 128 GB, and on a Mac with 256 GB or more Flash Next Optimized Speed is the first recommendation. Qwen 3.6 Optimized Speed V2 remains available below them.
The CLI on its own:
brew install youssofal/mtplx/mtplx
mtplx startor python3 -m pip install mtplx if you prefer pip. All releases are listed at mtplx.com/releases.
Requirements: Apple Silicon (M1 or newer), macOS 14+. The app and CLI use one recommendation policy on M3, M4 and M5: Qwen 3.5 4B Optimized Speed below 16 GB, Ternary Bonsai 2 27B from 16 GB, Qwen 3.8 27B Optimized Speed from 32 GB, and Qwen 3.8 Flash Next Optimized Speed from 256 GB, with Flash Next Optimized Quality second. M1 and M2 keep their FP16 recommendations. Installed models and explicit selections remain available.
Ternary Bonsai 2 27B and Flash Next Optimized Quality require MTPLX 2.12.0 or later.
Qwen 3.8 Flash Next is Qwen's 125B-A6B preview of the Qwen4 architecture: a hybrid GatedDeltaNet mixture of experts with Qwen Sparse Attention and a 51B-parameter n-gram table. MTPLX 2.10.0 was the first Apple Silicon backend for the family, and it runs the model's own MTP head as an exact speculative decoder. Bare Speed is offered from 96 GB of unified memory and Optimized Speed from 128 GB. MTPLX 2.12.0 adds Optimized Quality for Macs with 256 GB or more:
Youssofal/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-MTPLX-Optimized-Speed: dynamic 4-bit with the sparse-attention projections at 8-bit. 115.1 GB download including the 32 GB n-gram table, about 83 GB resident.Youssofal/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-MTPLX-Bare-Speed: flat 4-bit, the quickest build. 106.3 GB download, about 74 GB resident.Youssofal/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-MTPLX-Optimized-Quality: 8-bit group-64 body and MTP head, BF16 structural tensors, and a 4-bit group-32 n-gram table. 169.96 GB download (169,958,537,520 bytes); the weights need about 128.5 GiB. It has not yet been run on a 256 GB Mac, and its speed has not been measured.
The n-gram table streams from SSD on every Mac, so only the weights stay in memory. Context window 262,144 tokens; 261,120-token prompts decode. Image input works. In the app, pick "Qwen 3.8 Flash-Next Optimized Speed"; from the terminal:
mtplx serve --model Youssofal/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-MTPLX-Optimized-SpeedThen point OpenCode, Pi, Hermes, Claude Code, Cline, Cursor or anything that speaks the OpenAI or Anthropic API at http://127.0.0.1:8000. The guide with every measured number and its conditions: mtplx.com/models/qwen3.8-flash-next.
Youssofal/Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-MTPLX-Optimized-Speed is a compact ternary 27B
model from Prism ML with vision and MTP. It is the first recommendation on
M3, M4 and M5 Macs with 16 to 31 GB. The old Bonsai-3.8-27B-MTPLX-Optimized-Speed folder and
mtplx-bonsai-38-27b-optimized-speed served ID resolve to the same entry;
clients use mtplx-bonsai-2-27b-optimized-speed.
The pack is 8.85 GB with its vision tower and the Qwen3.8-27B MTP head, which
defaults to depth 1. Reasoning effort is medium by default; xhigh is also
available. On an M5 Max it decodes 64.4 tok/s at 4K and 57.1 at 16K, against
52.6 and 51.0 for the 4-bit 27B, in about half the memory.
On a 16 GB Mac it gets an 8,192-token window, with a measured peak of
11.80 GiB under a 16 GB memory budget; agent clients such as OpenCode and
Hermes need 18 GB or more.
Qwen 3.8 27B is the coding flagship for Macs with 32 GB or more. MTPLX shipped it on 15 August 2026, the day after Qwen released it. Three packs, each with an FP16 sibling for M1 and M2 that the app and CLI pick automatically:
Youssofal/Qwen3.8-27B-MTPLX-Optimized-Speed: 4-bit dynamic, 20.4 GB, 23.6 GB peak. The default for coding. Against the bf16 model on a mixed corpus of code, prose and JSON it agrees on 96.0 percent of top-1 tokens with a KL divergence of 0.012.Youssofal/Qwen3.8-27B-MTPLX-Bare-Speed: flat 4-bit, 16.0 GB, 17.0 GB peak. Quickest chat speeds.Youssofal/Qwen3.8-27B-MTPLX-Optimized-Quality: 8-bit dynamic, 29.4 GB, 32.7 GB peak, for 36 GB or more. 99.3 percent top-1 agreement with bf16, KL 0.0005.
The guide: mtplx.com/models/qwen3.8-27b.
The catalog lists MTPLX packs under Youssofal. For measured packs, "Fits" is the catalog peak while serving, next to the smallest Mac the app and CLI will offer it on. The preset column is what MTPLX resolves by itself, so this table is what you get by doing nothing.

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-MTPLX-Optimized-Speed |
128 GB and up, peaks at 87 GiB | The 125B MoE, dynamic 4-bit with 8-bit attention. Its 32 GB n-gram table streams from SSD. 125.8 tok/s on an OpenCode request on an M5 Max. The first recommendation from 256 GB. | Turbo, depth 3. This family accepts up to depth 5 |

| What the author runs | M5 Max, 128 GB | Flash-Next Optimized Speed, for everything | Turbo, depth 3 |
Depth 3 is the launch default for the Qwen packs above; Bonsai defaults to depth 1. mtplx tune --retune measures autoregressive decoding against each depth on your own Mac and saves a shallower one when a shallower one wins, which is why the 9B row above is depth 1 on a Mac mini. M1 and M2 Macs are offered the FP16 builds and every other Mac the bf16 parents, so you never pick the precision by hand. The "fits" figures describe serving memory, separate from download size. The Bonsai figures on 16 GB were measured by limiting a 128 GB Mac to a 16 GB memory budget.
Qwen 3.6 is still published and still supported: 27B in speed and quality builds, and the 35B MoE in speed and balance builds. The 3.8 packs above replaced it as the default recommendation, and the app and CLI still list the 3.6 packs below them.
The dashboard shows what your model is doing while it does it: live tokens per second, acceptance rate by draft depth, the verify waterfall, cache state, and system pressure. When you start a chat, code an agent against the local server, or run a benchmark, the numbers are right there.
Chat is native, streams with thinking cards, takes file attachments, and can search the web. One click launches OpenCode, Pi, Hermes, Open WebUI, or anything else that speaks the OpenAI or Anthropic API against your local server. There is also a built-in AIME benchmark runner with fully disclosed, coaching-free prompts, so you can score a model yourself instead of trusting a chart.
You can keep every model in one folder or configure several ordered folders in Settings under Model libraries. The primary folder receives downloads and Forge output. Additional folders are discovery roots, so external drives and existing collections stay in place. MTPLX remembers unavailable volumes and uses the first complete copy it finds in folder order.
The CLI uses the same primary plus additional-root policy:
# ~/.mtplx/config.toml
model_dir = "/Volumes/Models/MTPLX"
model_dirs = ["/Volumes/Model Archive", "/Users/me/Models"]model_dir is the writable primary root. model_dirs are ordered discovery
roots. You can also repeat --model-search-dir on supported commands or set
MTPLX_MODEL_DIRS to a colon-separated path list on macOS and Linux. Pulls and
Forge builds always write to the primary root. CLI updates and removals in an
additional root require selecting that root explicitly with --cache-dir.
The right draft depth depends on your specific Mac: chip, memory bandwidth, thermals. During onboarding (and any time after), MTPLX runs the real model on your machine at each depth, with fans pinned for clean timing, and keeps autoregressive decoding as the baseline. If an MTP depth beats it, that depth is saved. If nothing beats the baseline, nothing is saved and the app says so. From the terminal it is one command:
mtplx tune --model <model-or-path> --retuneOn a 16 GB M4 Mac mini, tuning the 9B model lands on depth 1: 14.4 tok/s baseline becomes 23.0 tok/s.
Forge takes a Hugging Face repo and turns it into an MTPLX-ready MTP model: convert to MLX, train the MTP adapter, verify that the result is actually faster and still exact, and publish back to the Hub if you want to share it. The honest part matters: Forge measures before and after on your hardware and shows you the verdict ("Depth 1 is fastest: 227.1 to 296.1, 1.30x") rather than assuming the adapter helped. Available in the app and as mtplx forge subcommands.
MTPLX does not support attaching a separately supplied MTP sidecar to an arbitrary MLX trunk. Matching architecture fields, tensor shapes, or provenance labels cannot prove that the head was trained against those exact trunk weights. Use a complete model that already includes its matching MTP weights, or use Forge to build and verify an artifact from its original source checkpoint.
The official catalog lives on Hugging Face under Youssofal: Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (Optimized Speed, Bare Speed, Optimized Quality), Ternary Bonsai 2 27B, Qwen 3.8 27B (Bare Speed, Optimized Speed, Optimized Quality, each with an FP16 build for M1 and M2), Qwen 3.6 (27B, 35B MoE) in speed and quality builds (the 35B MoE adds a balance build), Qwen 3.5 (4B, 9B), Xiaomi's MiMo V2.6 Qwen 9B, plus Gemma 4. The app and the CLI recommend from these based on your hardware.
mtplx start (or the app's play button) serves an OpenAI-compatible API on 127.0.0.1:8000: /v1/chat/completions, /v1/responses, /v1/completions, /v1/models, and the optional /v1/embeddings and /v1/rerank (see below), plus an Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages with streaming, tool calls in both styles, /health, and /metrics. The stateless, text-only Responses route provides Codex Responses compatibility with hosted tools disabled: it supports client-executed function/custom tools and namespace-grouped functions. Codex 0.146 sends web_search by default, and MTPLX intentionally returns a precise 400 for that request unless the hosted tool is disabled or removed. Codex may send reasoning.effort: "xhigh"; MTPLX resolves it against the loaded model. Qwen 3.8 preserves xhigh, Step 3.5 clamps it to high, and Qwen 3.6 exposes no reasoning-effort tier. Request observability records the requested and effective values plus whether the request was downgraded. Claude Code, Cline, Continue, Open WebUI, curl, the openai and anthropic Python clients: if it speaks the API, it works; the Responses hosted-tool limitation above still applies. The app and CLI share one server, so mtplx start attaches to the app's running model instead of loading a second copy.
curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/chat/completions \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"model":"mtplx","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hi"}],"stream":true}'Sessions survive: a warm-prefix session bank keeps multi-turn chats fast, and a default-on SSD session cache restores sessions near-instantly across restarts (disable with --ssd-session-cache off). A restored turn decodes as if it had never been paused: on 2.11.3 a seeded warm turn and the same turn recomputed cold were measured to part only on a literal coin toss, and a 96,760-token conversation restored in 8 ms in the app.
The same daemon can serve retrieval models, so a RAG or agent-memory setup does not need a second inference server beside MTPLX. Point it at any MLX embedding or reranker model, by Hugging Face id or local path, optionally with a REF=served-id alias:
mtplx serve \
--embedding-model mlx-community/Qwen3-Embedding-8B-4bit-DWQ \
--reranker-model vserifsaglam/Qwen3-Reranker-4B-4bit-MLXcurl http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/embeddings \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"model":"Qwen3-Embedding-8B-4bit-DWQ","input":["hello","world"]}'
curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/rerank \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"query":"where is the cache?","documents":["the cache lives in ~/.mtplx","unrelated text"]}'Both flags repeat, so several models can be served at once and picked per request via "model". Listing the same reference as both an embedder and a reranker loads one copy of the weights and serves both roles from it. Retrieval models load on first request and are capped by --retrieval-max-resident (default 2), which unloads the least recently used one beyond the cap, so an unused endpoint costs nothing. /v1/models stays chat-only by default so chat clients that enumerate models never offer an embedder as a conversation target; list retrieval models with ?capability=embedding or ?capability=rerank (every entry carries its capability), and a chat completion that requests a retrieval id gets a clear 400 rather than a silent answer from the chat model.
These models do not go through the MTP path, and that is deliberate: multi-token prediction makes next-token decoding cheaper, which means nothing for a model that returns a vector instead of a token stream. Configure them in the app under Settings → Retrieval endpoints, or persist them in ~/.mtplx/config.toml as embedding_models and reranker_models. With nothing configured the endpoints answer 404 and chat behaves exactly as before. One safety gate: checkpoints that bundle their own Python inference code (the jina embedding/reranker MLX releases do) are refused with a 403 until you opt in with --retrieval-trust-remote-code (or retrieval_trust_remote_code = true in the config file). A model download never gains code execution just by being pointed at.
Sampler controls cover temperature, top_p, top_k, and the OpenAI penalty pair presence_penalty / frequency_penalty: per request, as server defaults (--default-presence-penalty / --default-frequency-penalty on start/serve/quickstart), or live via mtplx settings set and the app's Presence Penalty dial. Penalties default to 0, which is an exact no-op that preserves MTP exactness. Qwen's guidance: leave them at 0 for coding and agent work; a presence penalty of about 0.5 to 1.5 helps creative writing or when a model loops on itself.
Concurrent scheduler modes, ownership guarantees, and backend-specific implementations are documented in Concurrency modes.

| Mode | What it does | When |
|---|---|---|
| Turbo | NAX verify kernels + compiled verify; the default for the quantized 27B and 9B flagship models | Picked automatically for those models |
| Sustained | Default for all other models. Long-context MTP path with chunked prefill and request-sized KV | Everyday use, big files, 16K-200K prompts |
| Sustained Max | Sustained with fans pinned at 100% | Long work where you want maximum cooling |
| Burst | Legacy short-context benchmark mode, loud | Short prompts and benchmarks only |
Fan-backed modes restore your fans to automatic if MTPLX dies for any reason, including kill -9 and closing the terminal. A detached watchdog handles it; this is verified on hardware, not assumed.
mtplx inspect classifies models before anything runs: verified, family-compatible but unverified, architecture-compatible but unverified, AR-only, incompatible architecture, or no MTP heads at all. Unverified models load with an explicit unverified label. There are no silent fallbacks: if MTPLX cannot run a model correctly, it tells you instead of running it badly.
Laguna-S-2.1 oQ4e is supported through its exact MLX architecture in target-only AR mode:
mtplx start cli \
--model mlx-community/Laguna-S-2.1-oQ4e \
--download \
--no-mtpMTPLX pins that model to revision
8e3f5cad513746264940c1c4195de48d7ea345a5 and verifies the 13-shard layout,
tokenizer, generation config, special tokens map, and Poolside chat template
before admitting it. The checkpoint has no native MTP head, so an MTP launch is
rejected before weights load instead of falling back during execution. The
weights occupy 59.72 GiB, a 64.13 GB snapshot on disk. The launch preflight
requires about 85 GiB of unified memory (weights, runtime headroom, and a
16 GiB system reserve), in practice a 96 GB Mac; 128 GB is
comfortable. MTPLX defaults Laguna to a 32,768-token context
and response cap, and checks larger explicit server contexts against the active
Metal memory cap.
- Not an external-drafter system. The drafter is the target model's own MTP heads.
- Not a greedy-argmax trick. Acceptance is exact rejection sampling, correct at any temperature.
- Not a CUDA project. MTPLX is MLX-native and Apple Silicon first. For Linux, use vLLM.
MTPLX was the first runtime on Apple Silicon to run a model's own MTP heads with mathematically exact speculative sampling: 27 April 2026, before llama.cpp had MTP at all, and months before it reached the hybrid GDN family. The 27B record followed on 2 July 2026 (81.74 tok/s on Qwen 3.6 27B, raw logs published), the first Apple Silicon backend for Qwen 3.8 Flash Next on 29 August 2026, and 125.8 tok/s on a Flash Next OpenCode request on 16 September 2026. The dated record, with a public source for every claim, is in HISTORY.md and at mtplx.com/history.
