'afm' command cli: macOS server and single prompt mode that exposes Apple's Foundation and MLX Models and other APIs running on your Mac through a single aggregated OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. Supports Apple Vision and single command (non-server) inference with piping as well . Now with Web Browser and local AI API aggregator

Code Analysis
0 files read · 1 roundsmaclocal-api is a high-performance, local-first AI inference engine for Apple Silicon that bridges the gap between Swift and Python ecosystems to run LLMs and Apple's Foundation Models offline.
Strengths
The project demonstrates strong architectural decisions by leveraging native Swift for performance while integrating mature C++ libraries (llama.cpp) and MLX. It solves a genuine pain point in the local AI space by eliminating the need for Python runtimes on macOS, offering a novel 'local-first' approach that respects user privacy and hardware constraints.
Weaknesses
Error handling appears to be somewhat superficial, relying heavily on external libraries rather than implementing robust custom error recovery mechanisms. The testing suite, while present, seems to focus more on integration and benchmarks rather than deep unit testing of the core Swift logic.
