We don't use uv on the other providers - I don't mind doing so, but let's put pip first for consistency and then mention uv.

Uv is preferred in strands-mlx, directing pip for consistency makes sense but that will require change README of strands-mlx so i'd rather not change readme for only docs repository.

My concern is the reverse problem - this is the only page that only uses uv where elsewhere we guide the user on using pip directly. So now a single page is introducing a new tool that isn't mentioned elsewhere. Given that these docs are focused on strands customers, I think the docs being consistent here makes more sense.

I expect and encourage readmes to differ from what's put on the doc pages here - this is meant to be a quick overview of a given package if you're trying to get started

Thoughts about relabeling this to ## Usage to match the other providers?

Strands-MLX repository have more documentation down below, trying to match with other providers does not makes sense to me. :/

| ### Vision Models |

An intro text blurb might be useful in these two sections. E.g. "MLX also supports vision models which can understand/parse images, videos, and audio"
Should this agent also have a read_file so that it can grab the given files?

No need for external tools to get the file contents.

I'm confused in this example then - when I run this:
agent("Describe: <image>photo.jpg</image>")where is the photo coming from?

It's the path of file in xml tags

Consider elevating this text to be a paragraph instead of in the code sample
Removed link to Strands Agents SDK from NVIDIA NIM documentation.
Added a note to set the API key as an environment variable.
