About
MLC LLM is a machine learning compiler and high-performance deployment engine for large language models. The mission of this project is to enable everyone to develop, optimize, and deploy AI models natively on everyone's platforms.
| AMD GPU | NVIDIA GPU | Apple GPU | Intel GPU | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linux / Win | ✅ Vulkan, ROCm | ✅ Vulkan, CUDA | N/A | ✅ Vulkan |
| macOS | ✅ Metal (dGPU) | N/A | ✅ Metal | ✅ Metal (iGPU) |
| Web Browser | ✅ WebGPU and WASM | |||
| iOS / iPadOS | ✅ Metal on Apple A-series GPU | |||
| Android | ✅ OpenCL on Adreno GPU | ✅ OpenCL on Mali GPU | ||
MLC LLM compiles and runs code on MLCEngine -- a unified high-performance LLM inference engine across the above platforms. MLCEngine provides OpenAI-compatible API available through REST server, python, javascript, iOS, Android, all backed by the same engine and compiler that we keep improving with the community.
