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

from mlx_vlm import load, generate
from mlx_vlm.prompt_utils import apply_chat_template
from mlx_vlm.utils import load_config

# Load the model
model, processor = load("EigenLabs/Qwen3.8-27B-4bit")
config = load_config("EigenLabs/Qwen3.8-27B-4bit")

# Prepare input
image = ["http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"]
prompt = "Describe this image."

# Apply chat template
formatted_prompt = apply_chat_template(
    processor, config, prompt, num_images=1
)

# Generate output
output = generate(model, processor, formatted_prompt, image)
print(output)

How to use EigenLabs/Qwen3.8-27B-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 "EigenLabs/Qwen3.8-27B-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": "EigenLabs/Qwen3.8-27B-4bit"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

EigenLabs/Qwen3.8-27B-4bit

This revision is a complete MLX 4-bit Qwen3.8 vision-language model that accepts image, video, and text inputs and generates text.

The 1,847 language_model.* tensors are bit-for-bit identical to EigenLabs/Qwen3.8-27B-4bit@eda45ab47f465d08d6558f0353a2346e2eb9d5b3. The 333 vision_tower.* tensors and multimodal processor assets come from mlx-community/Qwen3.8-27B-4bit@3e6447f082e89cc7f0bc6e5441afd38dfce760ff, converted from the official Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B@1d4bf0f2ff6012fd82039f2fa52739d0dd7c60c0 source. Tensor dtype, shape, and raw bytes were checked before publication.

The immutable challenge revision eda45ab47f465d08d6558f0353a2346e2eb9d5b3 remains available and is text-only because it has no vision tower or processor assets. Multi-token prediction (MTP) is intentionally not embedded in this repository; the MTP artifact remains separate.

mlx-vlm

pip install -U mlx-vlm
mlx_vlm.generate \
  --model EigenLabs/Qwen3.8-27B-4bit \
  --image /path/to/image.jpg \
  --prompt "Describe this image." \
  --max-tokens 256

Pin the immutable Hub commit shown in this model's history for reproducible deployment.

Darkbloom

This is the Hugging Face source artifact consumed by Darkbloom's in-process MLX VLM runtime. Darkbloom providers deploy only catalog-approved, immutable model revisions and verify their manifests before loading. Updating this repository alone does not register the model in the Darkbloom catalog or activate provider traffic.

After a Darkbloom catalog release pins the immutable Hub commit and publishes its verified manifest, a provider can discover and download that release:

darkbloom models catalog
darkbloom models download <catalog-model-id>
darkbloom start --foreground

<catalog-model-id> is assigned by the Darkbloom catalog; it is not the Hugging Face repository name.
