Qwen3.8-27B at 144 tok/s on an M5 Max MacBook Pro
Meet Inco Splash, open-source inference engine, built around the model and around Apple silicon.
Up to 3× the decode speed of Ollama, 2× oMLX, and almost 4× when an agent fans out into sub-agents.
Requirements: M3 or newer, macOS 26.4+, 36 GB
Get started with a single command:
brew install incoai/tap/splash
splash serve --model incoai/Qwen3.8-27B-Splash
That is the whole setup. Point your agent at it, works with Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, or Hermes
Prefer an app? Also, available in LM Studio
Get the latest LM Studio Bionic: lmstudio.ai
Settings > Runtime, download Splash, then download the model. The same engine, inside the app, for local agent work on your Mac.
