About mlx-dspark

DeepSeek's DSpark and z-lab's DFlash speculative decoding — native on Apple Silicon via MLX. Lossless drafters (same output, just faster) for Gemma-4, Qwen3, LFM2.5, Muse-Glimmer, Ornith-1.0, Qwen3.6, Qwen3.8, Nemotron, and Bonsai targets — plus any matched DSpark / DFlash checkpoint. Run them at the CLI, from Python, serve an OpenAI-compatible API to LM Studio / any local tool, or drive Claude Code with a model on your own Mac. mlx-dspark runs two EAGLE-family speculative-decoding drafters natively on Apple Silicon: DeepSeek's DSpar

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
