What it does
- Coding agents on a local model. mlx-serve launch claude starts Claude Code against your Mac, set up with the model's real context window. Codex, OpenCode, pi, Grok and others work the same way. Integrations
- Pictures, video, music, speech and 3D. FLUX.2, Qwen-Image, Krea, MOSS-Image, LTX-Video, MiniMax-H3, ACE-Step, YuE2, Qwen3-TTS with voice cloning, and Hunyuan3D, in the app or over HTTP. The app
- Transcripts and meeting notes. Speech to text in 30 languages, with word timings and who said what. The menu bar records a call and writes the notes. API
- Models bigger than your Mac. GLM-5.3-Flash and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash run on a 128 GB Mac by reading their experts from the SSD. Two Macs on a Thunderbolt 5 cable can run one model together, and Macs on your network can use each other's models
- An assistant that lives on your Mac. Chat with your documents, talk to it hands-free, give agents a sandboxed shell and MCP tools, or schedule tasks in plain English. The app
