maximpri / mlxtop
A top for local LLMs: memory, paging, GPU and tokens/s for oMLX, Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM and more
Why this job: topics: apple-silicon, llama-cpp, ollama, local-llm, vllm, mlx, local llms, llama.cpp

What it does
When a local model slows down, the cause is usually the machine: memory pressure, swapping, a full GPU or a throttled card. mlxtop shows those readings next to your runtime's own numbers, such as tokens per second, prefill progress, queued requests and cache reuse, so you can see which one changed when the model slowed.
