Libraries

How to use majentik/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-4bit with MLX:

# Make sure mlx-lm is installed
# pip install --upgrade mlx-lm

# Generate text with mlx-lm
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("majentik/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-4bit")

prompt = "Write a story about Einstein"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages, add_generation_prompt=True
)

text = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)

How to use majentik/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-4bit with Pi:

Start the MLX server

# Install MLX LM:
uv tool install mlx-lm
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server:
mlx_lm.server --model "majentik/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-4bit"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "majentik/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-4bit"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-4bit

Plain affine 4-bit (group-size 32) MLX quantization of Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct. This is the baseline sibling of the DWQ pack — for higher quality at the same size and bit-width, use the DWQ variant (perplexity 9.45 vs 9.86 here).

Variants

Variant	Size	Status
Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-8bit	1.5 GB	teacher
Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-4bit	0.93 GB	this repo — plain affine 4-bit (gs32)
Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-4bit-DWQ	0.93 GB	DWQ (recommended)

Reproduce

python -m mlx_lm convert --hf-path Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct \
  --mlx-path Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-4bit -q --q-bits 4 --q-group-size 32

Group-size 32 per docs/quantization-policy.md rule 1 (doubles tunable scale/bias params at low bit width).

Usage

pip install mlx-lm
python -m mlx_lm generate --model majentik/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-MLX-4bit \
  --prompt "The capital of France is"
