Rio-3.1-Open-30B-MLX-8bit

MLX (Apple Silicon) conversion of prefeitura-rio/Rio-3.1-Open-30B (Qwen3-MoE, 128 experts), quantized to 8-bit. First MLX build of this model.

Quantizations

Part of the Rio-3.1-Open-30B MLX collection.

Variant	Notes
8-bit (this repo)	8-bit · near-lossless
6-bit	6-bit · high quality
5-bit	5-bit
4-bit	4-bit · balanced default

Use with mlx-lm

pip install mlx-lm
python -m mlx_lm generate --model pipenetwork/Rio-3.1-Open-30B-MLX-8bit --prompt "Olá, tudo bem?" -m 256

Validation

Smoke-tested locally: loads and generates coherent text.
