APUS-OpenJev-v1-35B-A3B-MLX-4bit

English | 中文 · Source model · Collection · GGUF collection · MLX collection · MLX-8bit · GGUF / Ollama

MLX weights (mixed 4/6-bit affine (mlx-lm mixed_4_6), group size 64) of APUS-OpenJev-v1-35B-A3B for Apple Silicon Macs (mlx-lm, LM Studio).

OpenJev is a decision model: each request supplies a state, an instruction and 2–16 candidates, and the model scores candidate labels A–P. It is not a chat model.

Quick start

pip install mlx-lm
hf download apus-ailab/APUS-OpenJev-v1-35B-A3B-MLX-4bit --local-dir ./openjev
python ./openjev/examples/openjev_mlx.py --model ./openjev

examples/openjev_mlx.py renders prompts with openjev_contracts.py (the training contract) and returns the exact candidate distribution.

Parity

Frozen80 with identical prompt tokens, compared with the HF BF16 release (full depth, 71/80 · 88.75%):

Run / 运行	Backend / 后端	Frozen80	= HF BF16	Max Δp
NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 (CUDA)	mlx 0.32.2 on Linux x86_64 (Device(gpu, 0))	70/80 · 87.50%	78/80	0.8700

Converted and scored with MLX on Linux (CUDA); the files are platform-independent and load unchanged on Apple Silicon (for 4B, the same kind of file gave identical decisions on CUDA and Metal). Peak memory on Frozen80 was 23.17 GB; plan for a Mac with at least 32 GB of unified memory. Frozen80 is a reused development panel, not a blind benchmark. Per-question rows (candidate probabilities, choice, correctness; join with Frozen80 by panel_index): evaluation/per-question/.

Conversion

mlx-lm 0.31.3 / mlx 0.32.2; mixed 4/6-bit affine (mlx-lm mixed_4_6), group size 64.
6-bit lm_head and v_proj/down_proj in sensitive layers, 4-bit elsewhere (the MLX analogue of Q4_K_M); MoE router gates stay 8-bit (recipe). Calibrated DWQ/GPTQ were tried and were not practical for this hybrid-attention model on the conversion hardware.
GDN A_log and linear_attn.norm.weight keep their source precision (FP32 in the 35B release).
Full depth only, text only, probabilities not calibrated.
