Construct MLX scalars

Usage

mlx_scalar(value, dtype = NULL, device = mlx_default_device())

Arguments

value

Single value (numeric, logical, or complex).

dtype

Data type string. Supported types include:

  • Floating point: "float32", "float64"

  • Integer: "int8", "int16", "int32", "int64", "uint8", "uint16", "uint32", "uint64"

  • Other: "bool", "complex64"

Not all functions support all types. See individual function documentation.

device

Execution target: supply "gpu", "cpu", or an mlx_stream created via mlx_new_stream(). Defaults to the current mlx_default_device() unless noted otherwise (helpers that act on an existing array typically reuse that array's device or stream).

Value

A dimensionless mlx scalar.
