+  <br>
+  <em>A Qwen-specialised fork of <a href="https://github.com/raullenchai/Rapid-MLX">Rapid-MLX</a> for long-context serving of hybrid MoE models on Apple Silicon.</em>

+---
+
+## Why this exists
+
+Qwen3.5-122B-A10B is a hybrid: about 75% of its layers are DeltaNet (recurrent, linear-attention) and 25% are full attention. The recurrent state cannot be rewound to an earlier position, so the standard in-memory prefix cache drops every entry that contains those layers. On this model it misses 100% of the time. In a normal window we measured zero in-memory hits against 109 disk hits.
+
+So the only thing that keeps the model warm is disk KV restore: checkpoint the attention KV to SSD, page it back on the next turn. It is not a fallback here, it is the entire cache. qMLX is that subsystem built properly, plus the fixes needed to make it hold on real agentic-coding traffic.
+
+The result: a follow-up question on a 130,000-token conversation goes from a multi-minute cold prefill to a sub-second restore. Measured on an M3 Ultra, a repeated 32k prompt drops from 88 seconds of prefill to 0.64 seconds, 137x faster.
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **Disk KV checkpoint and restore** for hybrid recurrent + attention MoE caches, with int4 checkpoints dequantised on restore.
+- **Matchable-aware disk-cap eviction** so the checkpoint the next turn needs never gets evicted by unmatchable interval writes.
+- **Honest, phase-split metrics**: real decode tok/s (decode window only), real prefill throughput (excludes cached tokens), disk-restore hit rate, TTFT. No amortised (prompt+gen)/wall throughput lie.
+- **Live divergence logging** that pinpoints the exact token where a prefix-cache match broke, so this class of bug is diagnosable in minutes.
+
+## Status
+
+Alpha. It runs one model (Qwen3.5-122B-A10B) on one class of machine (M3 Ultra, 96GB+ unified). Qwen-first, and honest about what is built and what is not. Decode slows gradually with context because the dense-attention layers re-read a growing KV each token, but there is no cliff: it stays usable well past 100k tokens on this hardware. Windowed attention to flatten that curve further is on the roadmap.
+
+## Install
+
+From source (this is a fork, not published to PyPI under its own name):
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/marzukia/qMLX.git
+cd qMLX
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## Serving
+
+```sh
+rapid-mlx serve mlx-community/Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-4bit \
+  --text-only --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8095 --max-num-seqs 1 \
+  --enable-prefix-cache --prefix-cache-index radix \
+  --enable-disk-kv-restore --kv-disk-checkpoint-interval 256
+```
+
+Drop-in OpenAI / Anthropic API, same as upstream. `--text-only` is required: the vision path is incompatible with the hybrid continuous-batching that the cache work depends on.
+
+## Credit
+
+Forked from [raullenchai/Rapid-MLX](https://github.com/raullenchai/Rapid-MLX). The base engine, the OpenAI/Anthropic API surface, and the MLX serving path are theirs. qMLX adds the hybrid-aware disk restore, the eviction and metrics work, and the Qwen specialisation. We went a different direction on hybrid attention, too fundamental to reconcile in a PR, hence the fork.
+
+## Notes
+
+The package is still imported as `vllm_mlx` and the CLI is still `rapid-mlx`; those are kept as functional identifiers for compatibility. `rapid_mlx_*` metric names, `RAPID_MLX_*` env vars, and the `~/.cache/rapid-mlx/` cache path are unchanged for the same reason.

+## Why this exists
+
+Qwen3.5-122B-A10B is a hybrid: about 75% of its layers are DeltaNet (recurrent, linear-attention) and 25% are full attention. The recurrent state cannot be rewound to an earlier position, so the standard in-memory prefix cache drops every entry that contains those layers. On this model it misses 100% of the time. In a normal window we measured zero in-memory hits against 109 disk hits.
+
+So the only thing that keeps the model warm is disk KV restore: checkpoint the attention KV to SSD, page it back on the next turn. It is not a fallback here, it is the entire cache. qMLX is that subsystem built properly, plus the fixes needed to make it hold on real agentic-coding traffic.
+
+The result: a follow-up question on a 130,000-token conversation goes from a multi-minute cold prefill to a sub-second restore. Measured on an M3 Ultra, a repeated 32k prompt drops from 88 seconds of prefill to 0.64 seconds, 137x faster.
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **Disk KV checkpoint and restore** for hybrid recurrent + attention MoE caches, with int4 checkpoints dequantised on restore.
+- **Matchable-aware disk-cap eviction** so the checkpoint the next turn needs never gets evicted by unmatchable interval writes.
+- **Honest, phase-split metrics**: real decode tok/s (decode window only), real prefill throughput (excludes cached tokens), disk-restore hit rate, TTFT. No amortised (prompt+gen)/wall throughput lie.
+- **Live divergence logging** that pinpoints the exact token where a prefix-cache match broke, so this class of bug is diagnosable in minutes.
+
+## Status
+
+Alpha. It runs one model (Qwen3.5-122B-A10B) on one class of machine (M3 Ultra, 96GB+ unified). Qwen-first, and honest about what is built and what is not. Decode slows gradually with context because the dense-attention layers re-read a growing KV each token, but there is no cliff: it stays usable well past 100k tokens on this hardware. Windowed attention to flatten that curve further is on the roadmap.

+## Install
+
+From source (this is a fork, not published to PyPI under its own name):
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/marzukia/qMLX.git
+cd qMLX
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## Serving
+
+```sh
+rapid-mlx serve mlx-community/Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-4bit \
+  --text-only --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8095 --max-num-seqs 1 \
+  --enable-prefix-cache --prefix-cache-index radix \
+  --enable-disk-kv-restore --kv-disk-checkpoint-interval 256
+```
+
+Drop-in OpenAI / Anthropic API, same as upstream. `--text-only` is required: the vision path is incompatible with the hybrid continuous-batching that the cache work depends on.
+
+## Credit
+
+Forked from [raullenchai/Rapid-MLX](https://github.com/raullenchai/Rapid-MLX). The base engine, the OpenAI/Anthropic API surface, and the MLX serving path are theirs. qMLX adds the hybrid-aware disk restore, the eviction and metrics work, and the Qwen specialisation. We went a different direction on hybrid attention, too fundamental to reconcile in a PR, hence the fork.

+## Notes
+
+The package is still imported as `vllm_mlx` and the CLI is still `rapid-mlx`; those are kept as functional identifiers for compatibility. `rapid_mlx_*` metric names, `RAPID_MLX_*` env vars, and the `~/.cache/rapid-mlx/` cache path are unchanged for the same reason.
