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.
