Deep Dive: MLX on Apple Silicon + Hands-On Fine-Tuning

This month's RMAIIG AI Engineering Meetup will be a deep-dive with MLX. Built from the ground up for M-series Macs, MLX is Apple’s performance-tuned answer to PyTorch and JAX.

In this technical deep dive, we’ll explore how MLX works in practical hands-on ways, and what makes it different from the frameworks you already know. Then we’ll roll up our sleeves for a hands-on workshop: experimenting with BlossomTune-MLX, a federated fine-tuning framework designed specifically for MLX.

Expect to get your hands dirty with live demos, model fine-tuning, and practical workflows you can run on your own machine. Bring your MacBooks, your experience, your awesome questions, and raw curiosity.

As always, this will be even more fun than it sounds, and I'll bring the coffee!
