Hugging Face Overview
Model Overview
The alexgusevski/Phi-4-mini-instruct-mlx-fp16 is a 3.8 billion parameter instruction-tuned language model. It is a conversion of the original microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct model into the MLX format, specifically using mlx-lm version 0.21.5.
Key Characteristics
- MLX Format: Optimized for efficient execution on Apple silicon, making it suitable for local development and inference on compatible hardware.
- Instruction-Tuned: Designed to follow instructions effectively, making it versatile for various natural language processing tasks.
- Compact Size: With 3.8 billion parameters, it offers a balance between performance and resource efficiency, ideal for environments where larger models are impractical.
Usage
This model is intended for use with the mlx-lm library, providing a straightforward way to load and generate text. Developers can integrate it into Python applications for tasks requiring instruction-following capabilities on MLX-supported devices.
