Error: 500 Internal Server Error: mlx runner failed: Error: MLX not available: failed to load MLX dynamic library (searched: [/opt/homebrew/Cellar/ollama/0.20.5/bin/lib/ollama /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ollama/0.20.5/bin /opt/homebrew/var/build/lib/ollama]) (exit: exit status 1) Error: 500 Internal Server Error: mlx runner failed: Error: MLX not available: failed to load MLX dynamic library (searched: [/opt/homebrew/Cellar/ollama/0.20.5/bin/lib/ollama /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ollama/0.20.5/bin /opt/homebrew/var/build/lib/ollama]) (exit: exit status 1)

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to missing or incompatible MLX dynamic libraries, and a potential fix involves ensuring the correct installation and configuration of MLX libraries for the given models.

Guidance

• Verify that the MLX dynamic libraries for mxfp8 and nvfp4 models are correctly installed and compatible with the Ollama version 0.20.5.
• Check the search paths /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ollama/0.20.5/bin/lib/ollama, /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ollama/0.20.5/bin, and /opt/homebrew/var/build/lib/ollama for the presence of the required MLX libraries.
• Consider reinstalling or updating Ollama to ensure that the MLX libraries are properly configured.
• If using a specific GPU or CPU architecture, ensure that the MLX libraries are compatible with the Apple GPU and CPU.

Example

No specific code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to library installation and configuration rather than code.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the macOS environment and the Apple GPU and CPU architecture. Further investigation into the compatibility of MLX libraries with these components may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Reinstall or update Ollama to ensure correct MLX library configuration, as the current setup seems to be missing or incompatible with the required MLX dynamic libraries.
