On a 48 GB M5 Pro it decodes Qwen3.8-27B at 2× the speed of the next-fastest engine and, with a 32K context cached, returns the first token in 282 ms. Its kernels, draft model, and memory plan are specialized for each model it serves. That is why it is fast, and why there is nothing to configure. Apple M3 or newer, macOS 26.4 or later, Homebrew, and 36 GB of unified memory (48 GB or more recommended). The first run downloads and verifies the model package, checks available memory, and starts serving on 127.0.0.1:8000. Once it prints Ready, leave this terminal open. Open in your browser, or run an installed coding agent from another terminal:…

Review the README for scope, installation, examples and limitations. We do not run repository code or certify it.
Evaluate before installing
Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
