Jamie Pine 94487f32a5 Enhance MLX and PyTorch Backend Integration
- Added support for MLX backend on Apple Silicon, enabling optimized performance for TTS and STT tasks.
- Implemented platform detection to dynamically select between MLX and PyTorch based on the runtime environment.
- Updated build process to include MLX-specific dependencies and configurations for macOS.
- Refactored backend code to improve model loading and inference logic, accommodating backend-specific requirements.
- Enhanced documentation to clarify backend selection and performance benefits for different platforms.
- Streamlined installation instructions and troubleshooting guidance for MLX-related issues.
