Run AI Models Locally on Apple Silicon with Optiq
Optiq offers a straightforward way to serve quantized language models locally on an Apple Silicon Mac using the mlx-optiq tool. This capability package provides an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, enabling users to execute AI models directly on their Mac hardware.
What this skill does
- Allows users to run quantized language models locally on Apple Silicon Macs.
- Utilizes mlx-optiq to serve these models, connecting through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- Ensures the model and its KV cache fit within the Mac's memory capacity.
- Allows users to test local execution speed and quality of AI models.
Who it is for
- Developers working with AI models who want to run these models locally on their Mac.
- Tech professionals using AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
- Teams looking to serve models without needing cloud infrastructure for lesser-scaled tasks.
Use cases
- Running language models for development and testing purposes directly on an Apple Silicon Mac.
- Comparing local execution performance against cloud-based models for specific tasks.
- Ensuring models are tested in a controlled, offline environment where network dependencies are minimized.
Technical details
- Requires an Apple Silicon Mac (not compatible with Intel Macs or Windows systems).
- Dependent on the mlx-optiq tool, which users must install independently (requires Python 3.11+).
- Supports connection through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint to integrate with various AI applications.
- Involves the selection and download of quantized models as listed on the mlx-optiq website.

Here's what buyers say about the skills they use every day.
Ran it on a client's Google Ads account and it flagged wasted spend we'd been missing for months. Paid for itself on day one.
Optimize Ad Spend: Ad Account AuditorWe finally caught broken conversion tags before launch instead of after. The pre-launch checklist alone is worth the price.
Optimize Conversion Tracking: Pre-Launch QADropped it into Claude Code and my LCP went from 4.1s to 1.9s in an afternoon. It explains every fix it suggests, so I actually learned something too.
Optimize Core Web VitalsOur agency uses it as the final review step on every PR now. It catches security issues our linters never did.
Optimize Your Code: Best Practices & SecurityMade WCAG 2.2 compliance actually manageable. It walked through our whole storefront and produced a fix list our devs could work from directly.
Enhance Web Accessibility: WCAG 2.2As an expat freelancer in France, the DGFIP simulation saved me a very expensive appointment with an accountant. Incredibly thorough.
AI Tax Audit Skill: DGFIP Fiscal ControlWorks with both Cursor and Claude Code exactly as advertised. Setup took less than five minutes with the included README.
Optimize Profits: AI Conversion Value MapperInstant delivery, clean files, clear docs. This is how digital products should be sold. Already bought three more skills.
AI Comptable: French AccountingSupport answered my install question within a couple of hours on a Sunday. The skill itself has become part of my daily workflow.
