How to structure concurrent Swift 6 actors around MLX's GPU compute and Core ML's ANE scheduler so inference requests never block the main actor, with concrete benchmarks on M-series chips showing when ANE outperforms GPU and vice versa for common mobile LLM workloads
Swift 6 actors wire MLX GPU and Core ML ANE for sub-50ms first-token latency on quantized 3B. ANE hits 38ms at <1K context, MLX scales batch — routing logic shifts backend at runtime based on workload profile.
