In Part 1 of this series, we installed MLX and ran a local large language model (LLM) like Mistral 7B Instruct directly on macOS.Now, let’s take it a step further and build a web-based chat interface using Streamlit — so you can interact with your local model just like ChatGPT, right from your browser. Why Streamlit? Streamlit is a powerful Python…
Running a large language model (LLM) on your own machine used to be a distant dream — now it’s possible and surprisingly simple thanks to Apple’s MLX framework.MLX is Apple’s machine learning library optimized for Apple Silicon, allowing you to run and fine-tune powerful models locally — without needing a GPU cluster or…
As generative AI tools begin to reshape our world, teachers must be equipped with the knowledge and skills to guide students in understanding and using these technologies responsibly. Our NSF-funded project, Empowering Future Teachers with Generative AI Education, aims to prepare pre-service teachers with a curriculum that highlights both the potential…
Our new project, CT4EDU will design, implement, and assess a high-quality, integrated curriculum, and professional development to support elementary school teachers in embedding computational thinking (CT) into their classrooms. In partnership with the Oakland Intermediate School District and the American Institute for Research, we will establish a Research Practitioner Partnership (RPP) using…
