Qwen3-VL Accuracy Differences on Ollama vs MLX

I run couple of tests with structured data extraction using newest Qwen3-VL model on Mac Mini M4 Pro with 64GB. I discovered the same Qwen3-VL model with the same level of quantantization performs differently on Ollama vs. MLX. It seems model conversion step is crucial and we must evaluate model performance on different platforms before going to production. 

 

Qwen3-VL New Models Comparison and Performance on Mac Mini M4

I run and compare newest Qwen3-VL models in Sparrow. Qwen3-VL models run fast and provide good accuracy. 

 

Ollama Support in Sparrow and Update to Latest MLX

I explain whats new in Sparrow and what was updated in the recent version.

 

Ollama vs MLX Inference Speed on Mac Mini M4 Pro 64GB

MLX runs faster on first inference, but thanks to model caching or other optimizations by Ollama, second and next inference runs faster on Ollama. 

 

Advanced Structured Data Processing in Sparrow

I added instruction and validation functionality into Sparrow. This allows to process business logic with document data directly through Sparrow query. For example, it allows to check if given fields are present in the document.
