A guided tour on how to use HuggingFace large language models on Macs with Apple Silicon

45
/ 100
Emerging

This guide helps Mac users with Apple Silicon set up their computers to work with large language models. It provides step-by-step instructions to install optimized deep learning frameworks like PyTorch and Apple's MLX, along with Hugging Face's libraries. The output is a functional environment where researchers, students, or hobbyists can experiment with AI models for tasks like building chatbots.

201 stars.

Use this if you have an Apple Silicon Mac and want to set up an environment for experimenting with large language models and deep learning frameworks, especially with Hugging Face.

Not ideal if you are a developer using a non-Mac operating system or if you need to deploy production-ready deep learning solutions that require broader hardware compatibility beyond Apple Silicon.
