Backend Abstraction — Completion Summary

Completed: 19 February 2026 Module: forge.lthn.ai/core/go-mlx Status: Complete — shared go-inference interfaces, Metal auto-registration

What Was Built

Migrated go-mlx to implement shared go-inference interfaces so it plugs into the unified ML backend system alongside HTTP and Llama backends.

Key changes

  • InferenceAdapter implements inference.Backend interface
  • Metal backend auto-registers via init() when CGo is available
  • Result struct carries text + Metrics (tokens, latency, tokens/sec)
  • Model loading, tokenization, and generation all behind interface methods

Architecture

go-ml (orchestrator)
  → go-inference (interfaces)
    → go-mlx (Metal/MLX backend, auto-registered)
    → llama (llama.cpp backend)
    → http (Ollama/OpenAI backend)
