Hi,
As stated in the title, the latest release version of the mlx-vlm repository as of January 26, 2026, is 0.3.9. How can I install the mlx-vlm 0.3.10 version?

Best,

You can easily install it from source (GitHub). However, even if you installed mlx_vlm from source to get the newest version, the model still isn’t working. It seems there’s a bug that needs fixing.
Oh, and there’s a little hiccup in the original model that I’m not sure Apple will sort out anytime soon. Perhaps it would be worth checking out some other models instead?

Thanks for your reply!
I’ve now successfully installed 0.3.10 and can run inference.

I’d like to ask whether this model was exported from the official Apple FastVLM weights, and if so, is it the Stage 2 or Stage 3 version of the 1.5B model?

Yes, I converted from the official weight which is the 1.5B one. I'm not sure its stage, Apple doesn't mention it in the model card. If you want to get certain stage model, you need to go to the official GitHub Repo to download the convert it.

And actually you can check the model card, there's a link to original model.
