About
BaseRT is a high-performance LLM inference runtime for Apple Silicon that lets developers pull models from Hugging Face, chat with them locally, or serve an OpenAI-compatible API from one CLI. Accelerated by hand-written Metal kernels, it is designed to deliver fast prefill and decode performance on M-series Macs, with published benchmarks showing up to 6.4× faster prefill than llama.cpp, 3.9× faster than MLX, and up to 1.33× faster decode. The basert CLI handles model downloading, conversion, interactive chat, serving, completion, benchmarking, inspection, and bundle signing. Its server supports chat, completions, embeddings, transcription, tool calls, continuous batching, paged KV caching, and prefix caching, while supported models can process text, vision, and audio. BaseRT uses its own .base model format with Q2–Q8 affine quantization, optional AWQ calibration, and signed bundles, and can convert GGUF, Hugging Face, and MLX checkpoints.

About
Photon is Moondream’s official high-performance inference engine, designed to run vision-language models efficiently across cloud, desktop, and edge environments while delivering real-time performance for production AI systems. It is built as a custom inference layer tightly integrated with the Moondream model architecture, using optimized scheduling, native image processing, and purpose-built CUDA kernels to maximize speed and efficiency. This co-designed approach allows Photon to significantly reduce latency compared to traditional VLM setups, enabling responsive interactions on edge devices and real-time throughput on server-grade hardware. It supports deployment across a wide range of NVIDIA GPUs, from embedded systems like Jetson devices to high-end multi-GPU servers, making it adaptable for diverse operational needs. It includes production-ready features such as automatic batching, prefix caching, and memory-efficient attention mechanisms.
