granite-4.2-8b-2bit-mlx

Provenance

Converted from ibm-granite/granite-4.2-8b using mlx-lm 0.31.3.

Usage

from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("salohcin714/granite-4.2-8b-2bit-mlx")
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True)
text = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)

Modifications

Weights converted to MLX safetensors layout and quantized (2-bit affine quantization, group size 64, via round-to-nearest, no calibration). Redundant tied lm_head.weight dropped where the model ties input/output embeddings. No fine-tuning; no added training data.
