ModelHub
The missing menu bar app for local LLMs on Mac.
In plain words
ModelHub is a native macOS menu bar app designed for developers working with local large language models. It streamlines the workflow of discovering models from Hugging Face, downloading builds, and managing a model library across multiple platforms including Ollama, MLX, LM Studio, and llama.cpp. The app eliminates the need to switch between browser tabs, terminal commands, and local folders by centralizing model discovery and management in one accessible location.

ModelHub is a native macOS menu bar app for developers working with local LLMs. It helps you discover models from Hugging Face, download the right local build, manage your model library, and use Hugging Face models with Ollama, MLX, LM Studio, llama.cpp, and the tools you already have without bouncing between browser tabs, terminal commands, model cards, and local folders. Ollama, MLX, and LM Studio are great tools. ModelHub is the missing discovery and management layer around them.

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
