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.

About

oMLX is a macOS-native MLX server designed to make local AI faster and more practical on Apple Silicon. Built for the way coding agents actually work, it uses paged SSD KV caching to persist cache blocks to disk, allowing previously seen prefixes to be restored across requests and server restarts instead of being recomputed from scratch. This can reduce time to first token on long contexts from 30–90 seconds to under five seconds after the first turn. Continuous batching handles concurrent requests through mlx-lm’s BatchGenerator, improving generation throughput without forcing requests to wait behind a single job. oMLX can serve LLMs, vision-language models, embedding models, and rerankers simultaneously, using LRU eviction when memory runs low. It supports any MLX-format model from Hugging Face, including Qwen, LLaMA, Mistral, Gemma, DeepSeek, MiniMax, and GLM, and can reuse models already stored in the standard Hugging Face cache, LM Studio folders, or custom directories.
