# MLX Models

> MLX models are optimized for MacOS with Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3). Experience blazing fast inference on your Mac!

## ⚙️ **Prerequisites**

* If you haven't already, install the nexa-SDK by following the [installation guide](/en/nexa-sdk-go/macos).
* MLX models only work on MacOS. It's recommended to run on a device with at least **16GB RAM**.
* Below are the MLX-compatible model types you can experiment with right away.

## **LLM - Language Models**

📝 Language models in MLX format. Try out this quick example:
