Purpose

Local Apple Silicon wrapper for mlx-community/Lance-3B-Video-bf16, a 3B video understanding and text-to-video model running via the xocialize/lance-mlx runtime. Supports text-to-video (TextToVideoPipeline) and video Q&A/captioning (UnderstandingPipeline.generate_video). Adds CLI, installer, and browser GUI.

Architecture

• Runtime: xocialize/lance-mlx (MLX native); packaged lance-mlx generate is a stub in current release — project calls pipeline APIs directly
• CLI: Small Python CLI for headless inference
• GUI: Browser UI via gui.sh; zero-build
• Install: install.sh -y handles env and model setup
• Two pipelines: Text-to-video and video understanding/captioning

Dependencies

• MLX / lance-mlx runtime
• pyproject.toml

CI/CD

None.
