📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

mlxcore adds array operations, fused fast-kernel wrappers, and SafeTensors file I/O. A new attention example uses QKV projection, rotary embeddings, masked scaled dot-product attention, output projection, and layer normalization.

Changes

mlxcore API expansion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Array operations and vector support
crates/mlxcore/src/lib.rs, crates/mlxcore/src/vector.rs, crates/mlxcore/src/array.rs, README.md
Array gains dtype conversion, math, sorting, shape, indexing, and combining operations. VectorArray supports multi-array operations. The README lists the wrapped module functionality.
Fused kernels and attention example
crates/mlxcore/src/fast.rs, crates/mlxcore/examples/attention.rs, README.md
The fast module adds normalization, RoPE, and scaled dot-product attention wrappers. The example composes these operations into a transformer attention block with a sliding-window mask.
SafeTensors file operations
crates/mlxcore/src/io.rs
The io module adds functions to load named arrays from and save named arrays to SafeTensors files, with tests for round trips and error cases.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 174d9

This PR adds many array operations, fused kernels, and SafeTensors I/O. The only issue found is a misleading error message when an out-of-range negative axis is passed to slice_axis. It is safe to merge with that small follow-up.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Report the caller's axis in the slice_axis error message.

Line 951 shadows axis with the normalized value, and the error at Line 953 uses that value. A caller who passes axis = -3 for a 2-D array gets axis -1 out of range for an array with 2 dimension(s). -1 is a valid axis, so this message points to the wrong input. The current test only passes a positive axis, so it does not detect this.

🐛 Proposed fix
-        let axis = if axis < 0 { axis + ndim } else { axis };
-        if axis < 0 || axis >= ndim {
+        let requested = axis;
+        let axis = if axis < 0 { axis + ndim } else { axis };
+        if axis < 0 || axis >= ndim {
             return Err(crate::Error::new(format!(
-                "axis {axis} out of range for an array with {ndim} dimension(s)"
+                "axis {requested} out of range for an array with {ndim} dimension(s)"
             )));
         }
