Forge v1.0.0 is the public source-installable launch.

Forge is a native macOS workbench for Apple Silicon local LLMs. It runs MLX and in-process GGUF models, scans model folders from disk, manages prompt libraries and presets, dispatches agents, speaks MCP, and can expose a local OpenAI-compatible API for tools.

Install from source:

git clone https://github.com/christopherbattlefrontlegal/swift-mlx-forge.git
cd swift-mlx-forge
./scripts/install-forge-app.sh

Included in this launch:

  • Native SwiftUI app for local MLX and GGUF model work.
  • Source installer that builds, bundles, ad-hoc signs locally, installs /Applications/Forge.app, and opens it.
  • Multi-model slots, Room split view, and coordinated multi-model rounds.
  • Prompt folders, Smart Prompt Select, system-prompt presets, design prompt builder, Brave research, agent dispatch, OpenRouter coding loop, and headless command composer.
  • Local OpenAI-compatible API server and MCP client path.
  • Public landing page and launch kit.
  • Developer security check script and CI toolchain gate.

Boundary:

This release is source-installable. It intentionally does not attach a public drag-and-drop .app binary yet. A public binary should be signed with a Developer ID Application certificate and notarized before being attached to a GitHub release.

Validation performed before release:

  • ./scripts/security-check.sh --developer
  • swift build --product mlx-forge
  • GitHub Pages deploy of the public landing page
  • Cloudflare Pages deploy to the new mlx-forge Pages project
