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

distil labs optimizes AI workloads by replacing expensive frontier-model calls with custom small language models tuned to a specific task while maintaining the required quality bar. It observes real production traffic, captures traces from existing LLM requests, and automatically builds an evaluation set to understand how the workload actually behaves. It then generates and validates synthetic training data, matches the data distribution to the target workload, performs supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, quantizes the model, and deploys an optimized endpoint. Results are automatically evaluated against the current model on accuracy, latency, and efficiency before teams choose to scale traffic. The resulting OpenAI-compatible endpoint combines a specialized SLM, prompt optimization, caching, and tuned serving for the use case.
