adapterOS

Apple Silicon-optimized adapter runtime for efficient multi-model AI workloads. Memory-parallel LoRA mixing.

wip 2024-present Creator
Apple Silicon LoRA MLX Inference Research

What It Is

Performance optimization layer for running multiple AI models on Apple Silicon. Implements fused kernels for adapter application and memory-parallel LoRA mixing.

Why It Matters

On-device AI requires efficient use of limited hardware. AdapterOS maximizes throughput while minimizing memory footprint, enabling deployment of larger models on edge devices.

Key Features

  • Fused Kernel Operations - Reduced memory bandwidth for adapter application
  • Dynamic Adapter Swapping - Switch adapters without reloading base model
  • Multi-workload Support - Run multiple LoRA adapters simultaneously
  • MLX Native - Built directly on Apple's ML framework
  • M2/M3 Optimized - Target current-generation Apple Silicon

Technical Details

Core infrastructure powering MLNavigator's on-device inference. Research component explores memory-parallel adapter architectures for improved throughput.

Drop-in replacement for standard LoRA inference with 2-3x performance improvement on typical workloads.
