Nativ: Run AI models locally on your Mac

Prince Canuma, developer of the MLX-VLM Python library, released Nativ, a macOS desktop app that wraps MLX for running AI models locally. It offers a chat interface and localhost API server, and automatically detects models already in the user's Hugging Face cache directory.

Nativ simplifies running AI models locally on Mac by integrating with existing MLX models and Hugging Face cache.
