MLX does not support the ANE.

Yes it does.

That’s just an issue with stale and incorrect information. Here are the docs https://opensource.apple.com/projects/mlx/

No, it categorically doesn't. Not just that, it's CPU support is quite lacking (fp32 only). Currently, there are two ways to support the ANE: CoreML and MPSGraph.
Nothing in that documentation says anything about the Apple Neural Engine. MLX runs on the GPU.
None of that uses the ANE.
