LLM Serving & Local Inference in 2026 — vLLM / llama.cpp / MLX / Ollama / LM Studio / SGLang / TGI Deep Dive
A map of the 2026 LLM serving and inference landscape. Datacenter camp (vLLM, SGLang, TGI, Triton, TensorRT-LLM), local camp (llama.cpp, MLX, llamafile, Ollama, LM Studio, GPT4All), emerging camp (KTransformers, MLC LLM,

MLX is the array framework that Apple's ML team — the same people who previously built PyTorch and JAX — rewrote from scratch for Apple Silicon. The core thesis is one sentence: the M-series GPU shares RAM with the CPU,
