Ollama Just Got Stupid Fast on Mac and Nobody Is Talking About What This Actually Means

So Ollama dropped v0.19 yesterday and I genuinely think most people are sleeping on how big this is. They rebuilt the entire Mac backend on top of Apple's MLX framework and the speed numbers are kind of absurd. Were talking 1,851 tokens per second on prefill and 134 tokens per second on decode. If those numbers dont mean anything to you, let me put it this way - thats roughly twice as fast as the previous version. On the same hardware. Same model. Just better software underneath.
