3:04 - Power iteration with MLX Swift arrays
import MLX let n = 100 let steps = 10 let B = MLXRandom.normal([n, n]) var v = MLXRandom.normal([n]) // get symmetric matrix A = Bᵀ + B let A = B.T + B // Power iteration → top eigenvector of A. // v ← A v / ‖A v‖ for _ in 0 ..< steps { let Av = matmul(A, v) v = Av / norm(Av) eval(v) } // recover the eigenvalue. // λ = vᵀ A v let lambda = matmul(matmul(v.T, A), v) print(lambda) -
5:09 - Mandelbrot set in plain Swift (scalar)
// Plain Swift, scalar-at-a-time var counts = Array2D<Int>(width: w, height: h) for y in 0 ..< h { for x in 0 ..< w { let c = Complex(xMin + Float(x) * xStep, yMin + Float(y) * yStep) var z = Complex<Float>.zero var limit = maxIterations for i in 0 ..< maxIterations { z = z * z + c if z.lengthSquared > radiusSquared { limit = i break } } counts[x, y] = limit } } -

// Compute the Mandelbrot set on a grid of complex numbers import MLX let x = linspace(-2.0, 0.5, count: w) let y = linspace(-1.25, 1.25, count: h).reshaped(h, 1) let c = x + y.asImaginary() var z = MLXArray.zeros(like: c) var counts = MLXArray.zeros(c.shape, dtype: .int16) for _ in 0 ..< maxIterations { z = z * z + c // iterate z ← z² + c counts = counts + (abs(z) .< 2) // count bounded iterations } -
7:27 - Jacobi iteration with conv2d
// Jacobi iteration: average the four neighbors // Convolution weights let kernel = MLXArray(converting: [ 0, 0.25, 0, 0.25, 0, 0.25, 0, 0.25, 0, ]).reshaped(1, 3, 3, 1) // Initial value var temperature = heatSources // Run this in a loop until convergence let next = conv2d(temperature, kernel, padding: 1) temperature = which(heatMask, heatSources, next) -

// Successive Over-Relaxation: blend the previous and next state let ω: Float = 2.0 / (1.0 + sin(Float.pi / Float(max(M, N)))) let redMask = checkerboard(rows: M, cols: N, phase: 0) let blackMask = checkerboard(rows: M, cols: N, phase: 1) // Update red cells using black neighbors let sorRed = ω * conv2d(temperature, kernel, padding: 1) + (1 - ω) * temperature temperature = which(redMask, sorRed, temperature) temperature = which(heatMask, heatSources, temperature) // Update black cells using (now-updated) red neighbors let sorBlack = ω * conv2d(temperature, kernel, padding: 1) + (1 - ω) * temperature temperature = which(blackMask, sorBlack, temperature) temperature = which(heatMask, heatSources, temperature) -

- 0:00 - Introduction
What numerical computing is and its applications — from simulations in chemistry, biology, and physics to signal processing, rendering, fractals, and machine learning training via gradient descent.
- 0:57 - MLX Swift and the Apple ecosystem
Where MLX Swift fits among Apple's existing numerical computing frameworks (Accelerate, BNNS, Metal Performance Shaders, Swift Numerics) — and why to choose MLX Swift when your primary goal is writing mathematical code that looks like the math, with automatic GPU execution and automatic differentiation.
- 3:04 - MLX Swift
Core MLX Swift concepts — n-dimensional arrays as the central abstraction (similar to NumPy), lazy evaluation that builds a compute graph before executing, and a walkthrough of the power iteration algorithm showing how operations like matmul, norm, and transpose map directly to mathematical notation.
- 4:28 - Mandelbrot
Computing the Mandelbrot fractal as a showcase for array computing — comparing a scalar-at-a-time plain Swift implementation against an MLX Swift version that applies z = z² + c across the entire grid of complex numbers at once, running on the GPU with up to 10x speedup in fewer lines of code.
- 6:34 - Heat distribution
Finding steady-state temperature in a room using Jacobi iteration — modeling heat as a 2D grid, implementing the four-neighbor stencil as a single conv2d call, and applying boundary conditions with an elementwise ternary. A convolution as physics.
- 8:12 - Faster convergence with SOR
How Successive Over-Relaxation (SOR) reaches steady state in N iterations versus N² for Jacobi — using an omega parameter to overshoot updates, a red/black checkerboard pattern to simulate in-place updates, and a side-by-side comparison showing SOR completing 100x faster with the same minimal code.
- 10:17 - Curve fitting
How automatic differentiation flips forward computation — given data points and a parametric function (a quadratic), using MLX's grad to derive gradients automatically and running a gradient descent loop to fit the curve without writing a single derivative by hand.
- 12:17 - The full MLX toolkit and ecosystem
Overview of MLX's complete numerical computing toolkit — linear algebra, FFTs, n-dimensional convolutions, reductions, scans, indexing, random number generation, optimizers (SGD, Adam, RMSprop) — and the Swift ecosystem of packages including mlx-swift, mlx-swift-lm, and mlx-swift-examples.
- 13:47 - Next steps
How to get started with mlx-swift and mlx-swift-examples (LLM integration, stable diffusion, model training, and session examples), MLX's multi-language support (Swift, Python, C++, C).
