TL;DR

  • The issue may be resolved by identifying and refactoring platform-specific code in Ollama's MLX support to improve cross-platform compatibility.

Guidance

  • Review the Ollama MLX support codebase to identify features and functions that are specific to a single platform.
  • Investigate alternative implementations or libraries that can provide similar functionality across multiple platforms.
  • Consider creating a minimal, reproducible example to demonstrate the issue and test potential fixes.

Notes

  • Without more information about the specific features, Ollama version, or platform, it's challenging to provide a more detailed solution.
  • The fix may involve significant refactoring or re-architecture of the MLX support code.

Recommendation

  • Apply workaround: Refactor platform-specific code to improve cross-platform compatibility, as upgrading to a fixed version is not implied in the issue.
