	# Kagandi/Frontis-MA1-35B-mlx-4Bit

	The Model [Kagandi/Frontis-MA1-35B-mlx-4Bit](https://huggingface.co/Kagandi/Frontis-MA1-35B-mlx-4Bit) was converted to MLX format from [FrontisAI/Frontis-MA1-35B](https://huggingface.co/FrontisAI/Frontis-MA1-35B) using mlx-lm version 0.31.2.

	## Use with mlx

	```bash
	pip install mlx-lm
	```

	```python
	from mlx_lm import load, generate

	model, tokenizer = load("Kagandi/Frontis-MA1-35B-mlx-4Bit")

	prompt="hello"

	if hasattr(tokenizer, "apply_chat_template") and tokenizer.chat_template is not None:
	messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
	prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
	)

	response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)
	```
