Clover-35B-A3B-Preview, 4-bit for Kapitsa
DiffuSpace's Clover-35B-A3B-Preview (a block-diffusion MoE tuned from Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, 3B active per token) quantized for Kapitsa, the Metal inference engine for Apple silicon. 19.5 GB.

Kapitsa downloads this pack with Qwen3.6-35B-A3B's DFlash2 drafter (incoai/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-DFlash2) beside it.
What is in it
- MLX affine 4-bit, group 64, for the experts, attention, DeltaNet, embedding and output layer; 8-bit router and shared
expert gate; norms, the DeltaNet's A_log, dt_bias and convolutions, and Clover's own right convolution and softmax controls kept in bf16 as stored. Made from the
bf16 checkpoint by
tools/convert_clover.pyin Kapitsa's repository;conversion.jsonlists every file's sha256. - Tensor names under
language_model.as in MLX's Qwen3.6 packs. mlx-lm has noclover_moemodel, so this pack is for Kapitsa. config.json,generation_config.json(Clover's repetition, length and</think>controls), the tokenizer and chat template,LICENSEandATTRIBUTIONS.mdas DiffuSpace ships them.
Decoding in Kapitsa
NI_CLOVER_DECODE picks how Kapitsa decodes Clover:
| Mode | How | Decode, M5 Max (T 0.6 / greedy) |
|---|---|---|
auto (default) |
Clover's causal pathway, drafted by Qwen3.6-35B-A3B's DFlash2 drafter | 319 / 332 tok/s |
spec |
DiffuSpace's self-speculative decoding: Clover drafts 7 tokens by denoising, then verifies them | 214 / 210 tok/s |
diffusion |
Hugging Face's block diffusion (LowConfidence, block 32, threshold 0.95) | 46 tok/s greedy |
Prefill: 6,002 tok/s at 4K tokens. Measured with kapitsa bench on a MacBook Pro M5 Max (128 GB), Kapitsa 0.2.24.
