MLX-Serve 26.10.1 is out: speed across the board. Exactly faster. Qwen3.8 27B with its drafter +66% on an M5 Ultra, +28% on an M4 Max, +37% on an M1 Pro. Qwen Flash Next: +11% decode on M4 Max, +51% prefill on M5 Ultra. (up to ~5400 PP!!!!) Gemma 4, Qwen, LFM2.5, Spark, Bonsai 2 all faster, output byte-identical to 26.9.6 (across 18 models). New: * GGUF models run on our own MLX engine, written in Zig and Metal, instead of the llama.cpp fallback. (experimental) * 🍣 Sushi-format Flash Next packs run directly. * Qwen-Image 2.1 edits pictures from instructions. * Drafting is on by default for every model that supports it.
