Spark-X2.6 4B: community local API serving smoke report

#31
by Raullen - opened

Alongside your Spark-MLX-LLM instructions, sharing a community HTTP-serving integration for Spark-X2.6 4B. The measured conversion is abenzerps/Spark-X2.6-4B-MLX-4bit@253181296bd0c643880b0f64daa0049a42148d4a, served using Rapid-MLX's spark-x2.6-4b-4bit alias.

The 2026-10-25 run used an M4 Pro 48 GiB, macOS 26.5.1, Python 3.12.15, MLX 0.32.4, mlx-lm 0.31.3 and mlx-vlm 0.7.2. The report also records a 2026-10-26 repeat on an M3 Ultra 256 GiB.

English/Chinese chat, structured weather tools and thinking on/off passed the recorded probes. Important client detail: this backend coalesced the short SSE answer into one content delta plus usage/end events. Accepting stream=true therefore should not be described as demonstrated token-by-token delivery. The path used the installed spark2_5 implementation, without opting into repository Python execution.

The short tests do not validate the million-token context configuration shown in your deployment guide or reproduce your reasoning-effort benchmarks. The report includes the exact pins and launch command for a narrowly scoped community example.

Evidence and reproduction details: checked-in qualification report. These are historical results, not a new inference run or an upstream endorsement.

Disclosure: I maintain Rapid-MLX; this contribution was prepared with AI assistance under my direction. Anonymous usage-metadata telemetry is enabled by default; DO_NOT_TRACK=1 disables it. Model and conversion licenses still apply.
