I think this has been logged several times, there was a comment in another issue with a probable workaround for it not finding some shared library, in another recent bug logged.

I’m also seeing this on Homebrew 0.20.5 / Apple Silicon with MLX-backed models. I posted full reproduction details and failed workaround results on #15479 since that appears to match my setup more closely.
