Text generation · mlx
6-bit Open on Hugging Face
Parameters
32B
Weights (est.)
≈ 25.7 GB
Mac memory (est.)
32 GB+
Size is estimated from the parameter count and quantisation. Memory allows a fifth extra for context plus 2 GB for the system; long contexts need more.
Run it
With mlx-lm on an Apple silicon Mac:
pip install mlx-lmmlx_lm.generate --model mlx-community/Nemotron-Cascade-2-30B-A3B-mlx-6bit --prompt "Hello"
