Released May 202541K context≈ 30,720 words14B params

A mid-sized reasoning model that runs locally on Apple Silicon via MLX, trading some numerical precision for significantly reduced memory footprint through 4-bit quantization. It handles a 40K token context window and covers the typical range of text tasks — reasoning, coding, writing — that the Qwen3 family is built around. The quantization means occasional subtle degradation compared to the full-precision version, but it makes the model practical on consumer hardware.

Glossary

4-bit QuantizationA specific type of quantization that represents model weights using only 4 bits instead of the original 32 bits, enabling very efficient inference on consumer hardware.Apple SiliconApple's custom-designed processors (like M1, M2, M3) optimized for running machine learning models on Mac computers.Context WindowThe maximum number of tokens a model can process in a single conversation or prompt.Full-PrecisionA model using standard 32-bit floating-point numbers to represent weights, providing maximum accuracy but requiring more memory.MLXA machine learning framework optimized for running models efficiently on Apple Silicon chips.Memory FootprintThe amount of RAM or storage space a model requires to run, which is critical for deployment on resource-constrained devices.PrecisionThe level of numerical detail a model uses to represent its internal values; higher precision means more accurate calculations but requires more memory.QuantizationReducing a model's numerical precision (e.g., from 16-bit to 4-bit) to shrink memory usage and speed up inference.ReasoningThe model's ability to work through multi-step logical problems and provide justified answers rather than just pattern-matching.Reasoning ModelA model trained to show explicit step-by-step reasoning and problem-solving logic before producing final answers, rather than jumping directly to conclusions.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.
