Running Qwen3 on your macbook, using MLX, to vibe code for free


Localforge blog post

Today I wanted to test running Qwen3 latest models locally on my mac, and putting that in an agentic loop using localforge. Get your latest localforge copy at https://localforge.dev(either npm install for any platform or if you want there are DMG and ZIP files available for OSX and Windows) Conclusion This may require a bit more experimenting such as simplifying system prompt, or tinkering with mlx settings and model choices, but I think this is definitely possible to use to get some autonomous code generation on YOUR MAC, totally free of charge!
