When NOT to use Rapid-MLX
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid Rapid-MLX if you do not have an Apple Silicon device, as its performance optimizations and support are exclusively for Apple's M1, M2, or M3 processors.
- Do not use this tool if your project requires complex vision or audio models out of the box; these extras must be installed separately.
