Libraries

How to use Ferox-AI/Phi-4-multimodal-instruct-mlx-8bit with MLX:

# Make sure mlx-vlm is installed
# pip install --upgrade mlx-vlm

from mlx_vlm import load, generate
from mlx_vlm.prompt_utils import apply_chat_template
from mlx_vlm.utils import load_config

# Load the model
model, processor = load("Ferox-AI/Phi-4-multimodal-instruct-mlx-8bit")
config = load_config("Ferox-AI/Phi-4-multimodal-instruct-mlx-8bit")

# Prepare input
image = ["http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"]
prompt = "Describe this image."

# Apply chat template
formatted_prompt = apply_chat_template(
    processor, config, prompt, num_images=1
)

# Generate output
output = generate(model, processor, formatted_prompt, image)
print(output)

How to use Ferox-AI/Phi-4-multimodal-instruct-mlx-8bit with Pi:

Start the MLX server

# Install MLX LM:
uv tool install mlx-lm
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server:
mlx_lm.server --model "Ferox-AI/Phi-4-multimodal-instruct-mlx-8bit"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "Ferox-AI/Phi-4-multimodal-instruct-mlx-8bit"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run Pi

# Start Pi in your project directory:
