• Show HN: Flyte devbox now runs GPU workloads on Apple Silicon · score 7.7

  Flyte Devbox now allows ML workloads to run natively on Apple Silicon GPUs by bridging containerized Flyte tasks to host-side processes using Metal (MPS) and MLX. It solves the gap of no GPU access in Linux VMs on Macs, enabling local training and serving with the same workflow as on a cluster. The design cleverly runs code outside the container while maintaining the Flyte interface and security with HMAC tokens.

• Show HN: Luksmith – Mount LUKS Ext4 Drives Natively in Finder on Apple Silicon · score 7.3

  Luksmith is a macOS application that natively mounts LUKS-encrypted ext2/3/4 drives in Finder on Apple Silicon, using FSKit instead of kernel extensions or macFUSE. It provides read access for free and paid write support with journalled writes, targeting developers and IT professionals who need to access Linux drives on a Mac.

• Show HN: Hello Guix – A GNU Guix Installer for Apple Silicon Macs · score 6.5

  Hello Guix is an installer that brings GNU Guix, a declarative operating system configurable in Scheme, to Apple Silicon Macs. It integrates Asahi Linux hardware support, the Asahi Guix Channel, and GNU Guix's guided installer into a streamlined setup process with a central with-asahi-hardware configuration function.

• Show HN: Strim – a Swift/MLX model server for coding agents on Apple Silicon · score 6.3

  Strim is a Swift/MLX-based local inference server optimized for coding agents on Apple Silicon, serving a Qwen3 27B model through an Anthropic/OpenAI-compatible HTTP API. It combines a single binary with a menu-bar app and claims meaningful throughput gains over other MLX servers on decode and shared-prefix agent workloads, while keeping data on-device.
