The POCKET lineup — pick by your device

Repo	File	Size	Runs on	Best for	Korean PPL*
POCKET-35B-GGUF	`Q4_K_M`	21 GB	PC / server (32 GB RAM)	top quality	5.79
POCKET-35B-GGUF	`Q2_K` ⭐	13 GB	mini-PC, no GPU	daily driver	6.49
POCKET-35B-GGUF	`IQ1_M`	8.2 GB	16 GB RAM box	smallest full model	9.69
POCKET-KR-GGUF	`IQ2_M`	5.1 GB	Android 8 GB+	🇰🇷 Korean phone	7.95
POCKET-KR-MLX	2-bit	5.1 GB	🍎 iPhone / iPad / Mac	🇰🇷 Korean, Apple-native	7.95
POCKET-EN-GGUF	`iPhone-mix`	5.3 GB	🍎 iPhone (PocketPal)	🌍 English phone	—
POCKET-EN-GGUF	`PC-mix`	6.8 GB	PC / Android	🌍 English, best quality	—

*Wikipedia-Korean perplexity, lower is better. Q4_K_M = 5.79 baseline. English builds are tuned on English; see each repo.

🍎 Why MLX for Korean but GGUF for English on iPhone? Apple-native MLX only does uniform quantization. Korean survives it (96 experts hold up); English needs our mixed-precision trick, which only GGUF supports — so the English iPhone build ships as a GGUF you run with PocketPal. Honest, not lazy.

Benchmarks — what is measured, what is not

We measure Bonsai on the same machine with the same stock llama.cpp, and we tell you where we lose.

[measured] Generation speed — POCKET wins on both CPU and GPU:

	POCKET-35B IQ1_M	Bonsai-27B Q1_0
CPU generate (Xeon, 16t)	27.0 tok/s	10.1	🟢 2.69×
GPU generate (H100)	197 tok/s	89	🟢 2.22×
GPU prompt (H100)	753	1816	🔴 0.41×
Quality (HellaSwag, 400q)	61.0%	60.0%	⚪ tie (CI overlaps)

[measured on a MacBook M3 Pro, 18 GB] — and on a laptop, POCKET wins every axis, including prompt processing:

	POCKET-35B IQ1_M	Bonsai-27B Q1_0
Metal generate (tg64)	25.4 tok/s	12.8	🟢 1.99×
CPU generate (8 threads)	13.8 tok/s	4.4	🟢 3.13×
Metal prompt (pp128)	240.7 tok/s	73.4	🟢 3.28×
CPU prompt (pp128)	45.5 tok/s	9.6	🟢 4.75×

On a laptop GPU the arithmetic headroom that let Bonsai win prefill on an H100 is gone, so MoE sparsity wins across the board. POCKET-35B-Q2_K runs on the M3 Pro's CPU at 19.5 tok/s — on an 18 GB Mac, run Q2_K on CPU (-ngl 0); its 13 GB exceeds the recommended Metal budget.

[pending — community reports welcome] on-device iPhone and Strix Halo throughput. We publish only what we ran ourselves; help us fill the rest.

The same-size rival Ternary-Bonsai-27B-Q2_0 (7.2 GB) fails to load in upstream llama.cpp — it needs the PrismML fork. POCKET runs on the tools you already have.

Files in this repo

Format	Size	Runs on
MLX 2-bit (`model-*.safetensors`)	5.1 GB	🍎 iPhone Pro / iPad / Mac

Apple-silicon native (Metal). For Android/PC use the GGUF build.

Quickstart (Mac)

pip install mlx-lm
mlx_lm.generate --model FINAL-Bench/POCKET-KR-MLX --prompt "안녕하세요"

On iPhone/iPad: MLX Swift examples.

⚠️ On-device speed is not yet measured by us — reports welcome.

Lineage — where POCKET comes from

POCKET is quantized from Darwin-36B-Opus, VIDRAFT's flagship — a model bred and evolved over several generations on the Darwin platform (crossbreeding, healing, expert surgery). Darwin-36B-Opus itself traces back to a Qwen3.5-family MoE architecture.

Component	Origin
Starting checkpoint	Darwin-36B-Opus — VIDRAFT, multi-generation Darwin evolution
Base architecture	Qwen3.5-family MoE (256 experts, top-8), unchanged
Quantization (`Q4_K_M`…`IQ1_M`)	stock llama.cpp — no custom format
Runtime	upstream llama.cpp / Apple MLX — unmodified
Expert pruning + domain imatrix (KR/EN builds)	ours (VIDRAFT)

The CPU/GPU speed comes from the sparse-MoE architecture plus ordinary quantization — reproducible with the same base and the same tools. What we add is the Darwin-evolved weights, the honest measurement, the Korean tuning, and the pruning that makes the 5 GB phone builds.

Limitations

The iPhone/Mac speed is not yet measured by us — community reports welcome.
Extreme quants (IQ1_M) hurt Korean ~2.8× more than English; use Q2_K or larger for quality.
English phone builds trade quality for size; the PC build (PC-mix) is much closer to full quality.
