WaifuFinder native Metal runtime
Compiled Metal kernels for the WaifuFinder native Swift runtimes. These are build
artifacts, not model weights — model weights live in their own repositories, such as
alastorid/WD-SwinV2-Tagger-v3-Swift-MLX.
| File | Purpose |

mlx.metallib |
Official MLX 0.31.1 Metal kernels, matching the core bundled by mlx-swift 0.31.2. Extracted kernels only: no Python interpreter, wheel installation or Python runtime is required. |
Why this is hosted separately
The WaifuFinder build compiles a Swift/Metal worker and needs this precompiled kernel
library at build time. It is not a weight file and is never downloaded by end users at
runtime — the released app bundles it inside Contents/Resources/Runtime/.
Hosting it on the Hub gives the build a stable, revision-pinned, checksum-verified source that does not depend on a GitHub release page.
Integrity
mlx.metallib is pinned by SHA-256:
928bdaf4d28683442b31bf11760f4dec600fe705e2a6367aaa3de0c5801d2066 mlx.metallib
tools/build-native-uncover.sh verifies this digest on every native build and refuses
to continue on mismatch.
Licence
The kernels are from MLX, MIT licensed. The full
terms travel in MLX-LICENSE.
