Error installing llm-mlx on Python 3.13 due to missing sentencepiece wheel #7
Description
On macOS 15.3.1 with M4
LLM version 0.21 (updated from 0.20)
Installed LLM as a tool using UV
I uninstalled LLM, created a new uv tool and tried installing with several other plugins. That all works fine. But llm-mlx fails consistently.
Here's the beginning of the trace that seems to point to an issue with sentencepiece installation. I'd be happy to troubleshoot further if you have a suggestion.
