1qh/chandra-ocr-2-oq2-mlx

datalab-to/chandra-ocr-2 quantized with oQ (oMLX v0.5.3) at level 2.0, data-driven mixed precision: oQ measures each layer's quantization error through calibration and allocates bits where the measurement says they matter, rather than by a fixed per-tensor rule.


Base	`datalab-to/chandra-ocr-2`
oQ level	`2.0` (effective ~2.8–3.0 bits/weight)
Size	2.3 GB (from 9.1 GB bf16)
Sensitivity entries	248
oMLX	v0.5.3

Table-column fidelity: PARTIAL / unstable. On the OCR fidelity check this build produced a correct table on one page and an unreadable one on another, with no column shift observed. Table output is unreliable at this level; prefer 2.5 or 5+ when structure matters.

Vision weights are kept fp16; only the language tower is quantized.

Use

from mlx_vlm import load, generate
model, processor = load("1qh/chandra-ocr-2-oq2-mlx")
