Acknowledgements¶
MLX-Gen is an independent project forked from mflux.
Most credit for the current codebase goes to Filip Strand and the original mflux contributors. MLX-Gen keeps that attribution visible while the project evolves under the mlx-gen package name and the mlxgen command surface.
Post-fork MLX-Gen changes are maintained by Laurent-Philippe Albou / AbstractVision.
MLX-Gen depends on MLX, Hugging Face Hub, Diffusers/Transformers model formats, and the broader open-source Python and Apple Silicon ecosystem.
The project routes or prepares model families from these upstream communities and model owners:
- Black Forest Labs for FLUX.1 and FLUX.2 Klein model families, including fill, depth, Redux, Kontext, ControlNet, and Klein routes where supported.
- Qwen / Alibaba Tongyi for Qwen Image, Qwen Image Edit, Qwen Image Edit 2509, and Qwen Image Edit 2511.
- Wan-AI / Alibaba Tongyi for Wan2.2 TI2V-5B and Wan2.2 A14B T2V/I2V video models.
- Tongyi-MAI for Z-Image and Z-Image Turbo.
- Baidu for ERNIE Image Turbo.
- Bria for FIBO and related FIBO image-generation checkpoints. FIBO Edit is not exposed as a supported unified edit route in the current release.
- Prism ML for Bonsai Image ternary/binary MLX checkpoints.
- ByteDance/SeedVR2 for the official SeedVR2 image super-resolution model family.
- InstantX, JasperAI, CatVTON, and Apple Depth Pro for optional control, upscaling, fill, virtual try-on, and depth-related model components used by inherited mflux routes.
Optimized model variants published under the AbstractFramework Hugging Face organization remain derivative MLX-Gen/mflux saved-weight layouts of their respective source repositories. Model weights, licenses, access restrictions, and attribution requirements remain governed by the original model owners and source repositories.
