# Docker Model Runner Performance Boost on Apple Silicon

**[Bret Fisher](https://daily.dev/sources/bretfisher)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Docker Model Runner now supports vLLM on macOS with Apple Silicon, enabling MLX-format models that deliver 20-30% performance improvements over standard model formats. Users can take advantage of this by specifying vLLM models in their Docker Compose stack, and Docker will automatically download the appropriate model on next startup. This update expands the catalog of locally runnable models for Mac developers building AI-powered applications.
