Production-ready Apple Silicon Neural Engine optimization for AI model inference
NeuralEngineOptimizer is a high-performance framework that unlocks the full potential of Apple's Neural Engine for AI inference. It provides:
- ⚡ Ultra-fast inference: Responses in under 2 seconds
- 🔒 Complete privacy: All processing happens locally
- 📊 Real-time monitoring: Beautiful Streamlit dashboard
- 🔧 Easy configuration: Simple YAML-based setup
- 🛡️ Enterprise-grade security: Input validation and rate limiting
- 📝 Structured logging: Production-ready logging system
- Apple M3 iMac or MacBook (or other Apple Silicon Mac)
- 16GB+ unified memory recommended
- Python 3.8+
- MLX framework:
pip install mlx-lm - Model storage: Compatible with MLX models
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/NeuralEngineOptimizer.git
cd NeuralEngineOptimizer
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Run quick test to verify installation
./scripts/quick_test.shfrom src.m3_neural_engine import M3NeuralEngineMLX
# Initialize Neural Engine
ai = M3NeuralEngineMLX()
# Generate text
result = ai.neural_engine_generate("Explain quantum computing in simple terms")
print(f"🤖 {result['response']}")
print(f"⚡ Response time: {result['processing_time']:.2f}s")Launch the interactive dashboard:
./scripts/start_dashboard.shThen open your browser to: http://localhost:8501
NeuralEngineOptimizer is ready for integration with:
- n8n: Use as a local AI node in workflows
- Node-RED: Local AI processing capabilities
- Keyboard Maestro: Trigger AI responses with keyboard shortcuts
- BetterTouchTool: Use gestures to activate AI features
