Run, serve, and fine-tune [**MiniMax-M2.1**](https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1) locally on your Mac using the **MLX** framework. This guide gets you up and running quickly.
> **Requirements**
> - Apple Silicon Mac (M3 Ultra or later)
> - **At least 256GB of unified memory (RAM)**
**Installation**
Install the `mlx-lm` package via pip:
```bash
pip install -U mlx-lm
```
**CLI**
Generate text directly from the terminal:
```bash
mlx_lm.generate \
--model mlx-community/MiniMax-M2.1-4bit \
--prompt "How tall is Mount Everest?"
```
> Add `--max-tokens 256` to control response length, or `--temp 0.7` for creativity.
**Python Script Example**
Use `mlx-lm` in your own Python scripts:
```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate
# Load the quantized model
model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/MiniMax-M2.1-4bit")
prompt = "Hello, how are you?"
# Apply chat template if available (recommended for chat models)
if tokenizer.chat_template is not None:
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
tokenize=False,
add_generation_prompt=True
)
# Generate response
response = generate(
model,
tokenizer,
prompt=prompt,
max_tokens=256,
temp=0.7,
verbose=True
)
print(response)
```
**Tips**
- **Model variants**: Check this [MLX community collection on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/collections/mlx-community/minimax-m2.1) for `MiniMax-M2.1-4bit`, `6bit`, `8bit`, or `bfloat16` versions.
- **Fine-tuning**: Use `mlx-lm.lora` for efficient parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT).
