+
+First build the MLX libraries:
+
+```shell
+cmake --preset MLX
+cmake --build --preset MLX --parallel
+cmake --install build --component MLX
+```
+
+Next, build the `ollama-mlx` binary, which is a separate build of the Ollama runtime with MLX support enabled (needs to be in the same directory as `ollama`):
+
+```shell
+go build -tags mlx -o ollama-mlx .

+Finally, start the server:

+Install [marimo](https://marimo.io). You can use `pip` or `uv` for this. You 
+can also use `uv` to create a sandboxed environment for marimo by running:
+
+```
+uvx marimo edit --sandbox notebook.py
+```
+
+## Usage with Ollama
+
+1. In marimo, go to the user settings and go to the AI tab. From here
+you can find and configure Ollama as an AI provider. For local use you
+would typically point the base url to `http://localhost:11434/v1`.

-# Experimental Features
-
-## MLX Backend
-
-We're working on a new experimental backend based on the [MLX project](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx)
-
-Support is currently limited to MacOS and Linux with CUDA GPUs. We're looking to add support for Windows CUDA soon, and other GPU vendors.
-
-### Building ollama-mlx
-
-The `ollama-mlx` binary is a separate build of Ollama with MLX support enabled. This enables experimental features like image generation.
-
-#### macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel)
-
-```bash
-# Build MLX backend libraries
-cmake --preset MLX
-cmake --build --preset MLX --parallel
-cmake --install build --component MLX
-
-# Build ollama-mlx binary
-go build -tags mlx -o ollama-mlx .
-```
-
-#### Linux (CUDA)
-
-On Linux, use the preset "MLX CUDA 13" or "MLX CUDA 12" to enable CUDA with the default Ollama NVIDIA GPU architectures enabled:
-
-```bash
-# Build MLX backend libraries with CUDA support
-cmake --preset 'MLX CUDA 13'
-cmake --build --preset 'MLX CUDA 13' --parallel
-cmake --install build --component MLX
-
-# Build ollama-mlx binary
-CGO_CFLAGS="-O3 -I$(pwd)/build/_deps/mlx-c-src" \
-CGO_LDFLAGS="-L$(pwd)/build/lib/ollama -lmlxc -lmlx" \
-go build -tags mlx -o ollama-mlx .
-```
-
-#### Using build scripts
-
-The build scripts automatically create the `ollama-mlx` binary:
-
-- **macOS**: `./scripts/build_darwin.sh` produces `dist/darwin/ollama-mlx`
-- **Linux**: `./scripts/build_linux.sh` produces `ollama-mlx` in the output archives
-
-## Image Generation
