kiwi

kiwi is a tiny k-like array language implementation that can lower to mlx and webgpu.

Requirements

• Zig on PATH or ZIG_BIN set explicitly
• CMake for MLX dependency builds
• a supported host toolchain for Zig and MLX

Quick Start

scripts/build_public_cli.sh

Build from source:

KIWI_MLX_BACKEND=cpu scripts/bootstrap_deps.sh
zig build

scripts/bootstrap_deps.sh now also bootstraps a repo-local DuckDB into .deps/duckdb. Host-matching builds prefer that install automatically so DuckDB-backed CSV, Parquet, and HTTP(S) scans work without runtime extension installation.

Dependencies

Pinned dependency revisions live in deps.lock.toml.

See THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md for dependency notices.
