+
+## What is mlx-Chronos?
+
+mlx-Chronos is a standardized benchmarking tool for local LLM inference engines
+on Apple Silicon. It automatically detects your hardware, runs a consistent set
+of tests across installed engines, and produces a structured JSON result you can
+contribute to the community leaderboard.
+
+**Supported engines:**
+- [Ollama](https://github.com/ollama/ollama) (MLX backend)
+- [oMLX](https://github.com/jundot/omlx)
+- [Rapid-MLX](https://github.com/raullenchai/Rapid-MLX)
+- [mlx-lm (Apple MLX)](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-lm)
+
+**Metrics measured:**
+- **TTFT** — Time to First Token (cold and cached, with statistics)
+- **tok/s** — Generation throughput (mean, stddev, min, max across trials)
+- **Engine RSS** — Peak RSS of the engine server process during the benchmark when available
+- **System RAM peak** — Peak total Mac RAM in use during the benchmark
+- **Tool calling** — Success rate *(coming in v0.2)*
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+When you run mlx-Chronos, it executes a fixed benchmark protocol against the
+running engine:
+
+**Cold TTFT** — sends a prompt to the model and measures the time from request
+to first non-empty streamed token, including whitespace-only text tokens. Each
+trial uses a unique prompt to avoid cache hits.
+
+**Cached TTFT** — sends the same fixed prompt on every cached trial. A priming
+call loads it into cache first, then cached trials run consecutively. This
+measures cache performance without interleaving unrelated prompts between
+cached measurements.
+
+**Throughput (tok/s)** — measures tokens generated per second using a standard
+fixed prompt, identical across all engines and versions.
+
+**Peak engine RSS** — measures the resident memory of the engine server process
+after warmup, through the recorded benchmark phases. This is
+intentionally not the total memory occupied by the loaded model or by
+macOS/Metal unified memory. It is meant to compare how light or heavy each
+engine process is while serving the same model. The default RSS sampling
+interval is 50ms and can be changed with `--ram-sample-interval`.
+
+**System RAM peak** — continuously samples total Mac RAM usage from before
+warmup through the recorded benchmark phases and reports the observed peak in
+GB and percent. This is the metric to use when checking whether a run pushed
+the machine into memory pressure or swap while the model was actually loading
+or serving requests.
+
+All metrics are run over multiple trials and reported with mean, stddev, min,
+and max. The default is 5 trials, with a maximum of 8 unique cold prompts.
+Results are saved as structured JSON in `results/local/` by default. Copy a
+reviewed JSON into `results/submitted/` only when you want to publish it to the
+community leaderboard.

+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install
+pip install mlx-chronos
+
+# Check available engines
+mlx-chronos engines
+
+# Validate setup before a run
+mlx-chronos validate --engine omlx --model "Qwen3.5-4B-OptiQ-4bit"
+
+# Run benchmark (JSON by default)
+mlx-chronos run --engine omlx --model "Qwen3.5-4B-OptiQ-4bit"
+
+# Optional: write both JSON and Markdown outputs
+mlx-chronos run --engine omlx --model "Qwen3.5-4B-OptiQ-4bit" --format all
+
+# Optional: choose a custom output directory
+mlx-chronos run --engine omlx --model "Qwen3.5-4B-OptiQ-4bit" --output-dir ~/Desktop/benchmarks
+```
+
+> **Note:** the engine server must be running before you launch mlx-chronos.
+> See [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/igurss/mlx-chronos/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) for setup instructions.
+
+---
+
+## Contributing Your Results
+
+1. Run `mlx-chronos run` on your Mac
+2. A JSON file is generated in `results/local/` (use `--format all` for a Markdown summary too)
+3. Fork this repo and copy the JSON you want to publish into `results/submitted/`
+4. GitHub Actions validates your result automatically
+5. Once merged, the leaderboard updates
+
+Leaderboard submissions must report throughput using the engine response's
+`usage.completion_tokens`. Local runs can still be saved with a fallback token
+estimate, but those results are not accepted for the public leaderboard.
+
+See [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/igurss/mlx-chronos/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) for detailed instructions.

+is measured, how, and why.

+
