Qwen3.8-27B MLX MXFP4 + Native MTP

Vision-enabled MTPLX package of Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B, pinned to revision 1d4bf0f2ff6012fd82039f2fa52739d0dd7c60c0.

Language model: MXFP4, 4-bit, group size 32
Vision tower: same-revision BF16 weights
Speculation: 15 native BF16 MTP tensors; recommended depth 3
Runtime: MTPLX 2.0.2 or newer

The Hub's approximately 5.5B safetensors count reflects packed MXFP storage elements; the underlying architecture remains the full 27B model.

The MTP tensor gate, text generation, and three image requests through the local OpenAI-compatible API passed. Quantization and speculative decoding can still change behavior, so independently evaluate important use cases. Treat prompts, images, and outputs as untrusted: do not submit secrets, and sandbox tools or generated code with least-privilege access. This package adds no telemetry or remote execution.

The upstream Apache-2.0 license and model limitations continue to apply.
