ornith-1.5-9b-mxfp8-vision-mlx

Standard group-32 MXFP8 language quant with the same-parent BF16 vision tower. Built from ornith-ai/Ornith-1.5-9B revision 98db59b for Apple Silicon.

Format

  • Logical size: 10.17 GB
  • Dense Qwen3.5 9B language trunk: 250 uniform MXFP8 group-32 modules, including recurrent inputs
  • Vision: 333 same-parent BF16 tensors
  • Context metadata: 262,144 tokens
  • Runtime: autoregressive MLX-LM/MLX-VLM
  • Native MTP: unavailable; the upstream checkpoint contains no mtp.* tensors

Exact precision and conversion records are included in BUILD_RECIPE.json and conversion_receipt.json. Immutable weight revision: 915e4f4.

Usage

python -m mlx_vlm.generate \
  --model Shiftedx/ornith-1.5-9b-mxfp8-vision-mlx \
  --image image.jpg \
  --prompt "Describe this image." \
  --max-tokens 256

Text lanes used MTPLX 2.7.1 in stock autoregressive mode. Vision used native MLX-VLM because MTPLX AR rejects image content. Structural loading and deterministic text/vision smokes passed. Quantization can change behavior; see the parent model card for intended use and license details.
