How to use AlphaOxO/Maincoder-1B-8bits-mlx with Pi:

Start the MLX server

# Install MLX LM:
uv tool install mlx-lm
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server:
mlx_lm.server --model "AlphaOxO/Maincoder-1B-8bits-mlx"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "AlphaOxO/Maincoder-1B-8bits-mlx"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Maincoder-1B — MLX 8bits

Quantized to 8bits format.

Converted from Maincode/Maincoder-1B using mlx-lm.

Requirements

The Maincoder model type is support in my mlx-lm fork(AlphaKure/mlx-lm).

Update at: 2026/09/09

pip install git+https://github.com/AlphaKure/mlx-lm.git@19ed84b1e3333bc9c320109b15dec38fe0784d29

Use

use --extra-eos-token '<|im_end|>' to avoid loop response

mlx_lm.generate --model AlphaOxO/Maincoder-1B-8bits-mlx --prompt "def insert_sort(nums: list[int]):" --max-tokens 2048 --extra-eos-token '<|im_end|>'
