Huihui GLM 5.1 abliterated optimized to run on a Mac Studio M3 512. Non-abliterated versions here: larger, smaller.
- This is NOT a faithful recreation of the original GGUF, so much as a "I wonder if..." science project. It worked! But YMMV.
- Converted from a Q3_K GGUF, with important layers merged with Unsloth's UD_Q3_K_XL to offset quantization loss.
- Fits into ~360 GB memory, leaving plenty of room to run parallel models (ex: Qwen 3.6 35B).

Tested on a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with:
mlx_lm.kld --baseline-model path/to/mlx-full-precision
mlx_lm.perplexity --sequence-length 2048 --seed 123
mlx_lm.benchmark --prompt-tokens 1024 --generation-tokens 512 --num-trials 5
mlx_lm.evaluate --tasks piqa --seed 123 --num-shots 0 --limit 500
Note:
mlx_lm.kldis approximate, based ontop_knot full logits. Here's the code.- GLM 5.1 KL divergence calculated against the largest quant I could run locally (~495 GB), so real KL is higher.
Methodology
Created with a custom workflow that:
- Compared GGUF quants for similarity
- Merged select higher-quant layers
- Dequantized to F32
- Requantized to MLX
