Hugging FaceFrom the builder
Jun Kim, oMLX creator and maintainer, joins Hugging Face to support the MLX community
Hugging Face has hired Jun Kim, creator and maintainer of oMLX, a local AI project built on Apple's MLX framework, and he will keep leading it under the Apache 2.0 license. The company says moving oMLX from a side project to a funded one should bring stability and make it a testbed for new ideas, with one focus on quickly turning transformers model definitions into reference MLX implementations that other engines can reuse.
Graduating from a side job to a fully maintained and funded project will allow Jun to better guide the contributors and build for the long-term.
