About MTPLX

The fastest way to run Qwen 3.8 on a Mac. MTPLX is a native Mac app and a command line that runs local language models on Apple Silicon with the model's own multi-token prediction (MTP) heads. It runs Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, the 125B mixture of experts, and Qwen 3.8 27B, plus Qwen 3.6, Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 4. The model drafts several tokens ahead of itself, one batched forward pass verifies the draft, and tokens are committed through exact rejection sampling with residual correction. The output distribution is the model's own at any temperature, and decode runs at around twice the speed of plain decoding: measured 1.6x on a 16 GB M4 Mac mini and 2.24x on an M5 Max. Measured speeds Every number below was measured on a MacBook Pro M5 Max with 128 GB, fans verified at maximum, sampled at the model's own settings. Conditions and sources for every row, with the raw

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.
