    What models and quantizations have you been trying? I've had great success with the larger Qwen 3.x models at 6-bit levels. Using 6 bit quantization is really the bare minimum to g…

    Unsloth quantizations are available on release as well. [0] The IQ4_XS is a massive 361 GB with the 754B parameters. This is definitely a model your average local LLM enthusiast is…

    With that you are taking a significant performance penalty and become severely I/O bottlenecked. I've been able to stream Qwen3.5-397B-A17B from my M5 Max (12 GB/s SSD Read) using …
