### Download
- [macOS Apple Silicon (arm64)](https://github.com/SharpAI/SwiftLM/releases/download/${{ steps.tag.outputs.name }}/SwiftLM-${{ steps.tag.outputs.name }}-macos-arm64.tar.gz)
### Quick Start
```bash
tar -xzf SwiftLM-${{ steps.tag.outputs.name }}-macos-arm64.tar.gz
# default.metallib is included — run from the extracted directory
./SwiftLM --model mlx-community/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct-4bit --port 5413
```
> **Note:** `default.metallib` is bundled in this archive. Keep it in the same directory as the `SwiftLM` binary — Metal GPU compute will fail if it is missing.
