Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-qpack

Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct, Swiftlet .qpack container (4-bit)

This is Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct (MLX 4-bit quantization, group size 64) repacked into the .qpack streaming container for Swiftlet, a Swift + Metal runtime that runs large Mixture-of-Experts models on ordinary Apple Silicon by streaming experts from storage instead of loading them into RAM.

Measured on a base M5 MacBook (24 GB):

This model is for Macs. iPhones do not have the storage for it; the phone model is Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-qpack.

How to use

git clone https://github.com/leonickson1/Swiftlet.git && cd Swiftlet
swift build -c release

Notes

• The parameter count shown in the Hugging Face sidebar reflects only the small resident file (model.safetensors); the routed experts live in packed_experts/ and bring the true total to 80B parameters.
• Weights are byte-identical to the MLX community 4-bit conversion; the container only reorganizes them for single-read expert access.
• Weights are governed by the Qwen license terms (Apache 2.0).
