Gemma 4 with MLX

MLX is the Apple-silicon-first route for Gemma 4 experimentation on Macs.

Why MLX is worth its own page

If you searched Gemma 4 MLX, you probably care about one thing: getting a Mac-native path instead of following generic CUDA-centric guidance.

Best fit

  • Apple silicon experimentation
  • Mac-first local workflows
  • Teams validating Gemma 4 on Apple hardware

When to choose something else

  • Use Ollama if you want the fastest generic CLI path.
  • Use vLLM if you are really solving serving, not local experimentation.
