Highlights

  • 8-bit MLX conversion averaging 8.25 bits per weight; output size 782.1 MB, converted with mlx-lm 0.31.3 in 4.76 seconds.
  • Active VRAM footprint of about 990 MB with 8 GB unified memory recommended; 262,144-token context length.
  • Card reports 52.23 tokens per second, 19.15 ms TTFT and 919.3 MB peak memory on an Apple M1 with 8 GB, five runs.
  • 4-bit (about 450 MB) and 16-bit (about 1620 MB) MLX siblings are linked, and an Ollama Modelfile with stop tokens is documented.
  • Apache-2.0; Qwen3_5ForCausalLM architecture at 0.8B parameters; conversion dated 2026-10-13.

Quickstart

bash
pip install mlx-lm
mlx_lm.chat --model SirSahOl/Jev-Style-0.8B-Decision-v3-mlx-8bit

Watch out

Card reviewed 2026-10-17; the performance table (52.23 tokens per second, 19.15 ms TTFT and 919.3 MB peak on an Apple M1) and the quick-start examples measure chat generation rather than the decision readout, and the card reports no decision-accuracy comparison between this 8-bit file and the 4-bit or 16-bit MLX siblings.
