MLX-Serve update makes Qwen 27B much faster r/macmini Jul 16, 2026 · 23h ago
Qwen 27B runs much faster after the new MLX-Serve updates. No exact speed, Mac mini model, memory size, or before-and-after test results are given, so the size of the improvement cannot be judged objectively.
Radar's take For people running a Mac mini as an AI server, this suggests that a software update could provide more speed without new hardware . The evidence is still thin, so test the same requests before and after upgrading instead of immediately changing a stable setup.
Key points MLX-Serve has received new updates.Qwen 27B now runs much faster than before.No exact performance numbers or Mac mini specifications are provided.
