Jin Daily Trivia: Did You Know MLX Now Supports Full-Weight Fine-Tuning?

MLX introduced fine-tuning support last year but focused primarily on large language models (LLMs). Now, the MLX community has expanded this capability to include vision-language models (VLMs).

What does this mean for you?

You can now fine-tune not just text-to-text models, but also image and video models. With the 96GB M3 Ultra Mac Studio priced lower than a 32GB Nvidia 5090, Macs have become a practical, cost-effective option for AI hobbyists to experiment with model training locally. And it only use 30watt of power.

Hope you learn something today, see ya!!
