[P] Ported nanoGPT to Apple's new MLX framework: Early Results on Macbook M3 Pro GPU

Hey fellow ML enthusiasts,

I've been working on an exciting project and wanted to share my progress with you. I successfully ported Andrej Karpathy's nanoGPT framework into Apple's new machine learning framework, MLX. This has opened up some intriguing possibilities for running GPT models on Mac GPUs.
Code: [https://github.com/vithursant/nanoGPT\_mlx](https://github.com/vithursant/nanoGPT_mlx)

**Details:**

* **Hardware:** Macbook M3 Pro with 11-core CPU, 14-core GPU, 18GB Unified Memory
* **Performance:** Pre-training a 45M parameter character-level GPT-2 model on the Shakespeare dataset at 0.37 iterations/second.
