* WIP - MLX backend with gemma3 * MLX: add cmake and go tag build toggles To build the new MLX backend code: cmake --preset MLX cmake --build --preset MLX --parallel cmake --install build --component MLX go build -tags mlx . Note: the main.go entrypoint for the MLX engine will change in a follow up commit. * add experimental image generation runtime * add experimental image generation runtime * MLX: wire up cuda build for linux * MLX: get dependencies correct and dedup This is still too large for a unified github artifact, but is now "correct" for the mlx_cuda_v13 directory. * fix relative link bug in dedup * Add darwin build and readme * add go build tag for mlx dependent code and wire up build_darwin.sh * lint cleanup * macos: build mlx for x86 This will be CPU only. * cuda build instructions and fix drift from mlx bump * stale comment * Delete agent helper doc * Clean up readme.md * Revise README for tokenizer clarity and details Updated README to clarify tokenizer functionality and removed correctness section. --------- Co-authored-by: jmorganca <jmorganca@gmail.com>

MLX Memory Management
| This package will get consolidated with x/ml/backend/mlx in the future.
Automatic Tracking
All arrays are automatically tracked when created. On Eval(), non-kept arrays are freed.
API
result := mlx.Matmul(x, w) // arrays automatically tracked
mlx.Eval(result) // free non-kept, eval result (auto-kept)
Key Functions
mlx.Eval(outputs...)- free non-kept arrays, then evaluate (outputs auto-kept)mlx.AsyncEval(outputs...)- async version of Eval (outputs auto-kept)mlx.Keep(arrays...)- mark arrays to survive cleanup (for weights, caches)array.Free()- mark array for cleanup on next Eval
Loop Pattern
for step := 0; step < maxTokens; step++ {
logits := model.Forward(token, caches)
oldToken := token
token = sample(logits)
// Keep cache state across iterations
for _, c := range caches {
mlx.Keep(c.State()...)
}
oldToken.Free() // mark for cleanup
mlx.AsyncEval(token) // frees old, evals new
}
Notes
Eval()andAsyncEval()auto-keep their outputsFree()marks for cleanup - actual free happens during next Eval- Use
Keep()for weights and cache state that must survive multiple Eval cycles - Arrays created inside compiled closures are managed by MLX, not tracked
