mlx.core.linalg.cross

cross(a: array, b: array, axis: int = -1, *, stream: None | Stream | Device = None) → array

Compute the cross product of two arrays along a specified axis.

The cross product is defined for arrays with size 2 or 3 in the specified axis. If the size is 2 then the third value is assumed to be zero.

Parameters:

• a (array) – Input array.

• b (array) – Input array.

• axis (int, optional) – Axis along which to compute the cross product. Default: -1.

• stream (Stream, optional) – Stream or device. Defaults to None in which case the default stream of the default device is used.

Returns:

The cross product of a and b along the specified axis.

Return type:

array
