🦖 Osaurus Exclusive — a compact JANG-quantized MiniMax-M3 coder (coding · agentic · multimodal) for Apple Silicon.
> ⚠️ **JANG-format model — runs on Osaurus.** > This uses the **JANG** quantization format (mixed-precision affine + **AWQ** + **REAP** expert pruning) and loads through **Osaurus's native Swift runtime**. It will **NOT** load with `transformers`, `vLLM`, or generic MLX loaders. ## What is a JANG model? **JANG** is a mixed-precision quantization + packing format — per-projection affine bit widths + **AWQ** activation-aware scaling + **REAP** expert pruning — described by a `jang_config.json`. Weights stay quantized in GPU memory. **Osaurus loads it through its native Swift JANG runtime** on Apple Silicon. ## Highlights - **Smallest M3 coder — ~84 GB** (the compact Osaurus build). - **REAP45:** keep **70/128** routed experts (45% pruned). - **All-2-bit routed experts + AWQ** (gate/up 2-bit AWQ-scaled, down 2-bit); attention 8-bit, shared experts 6-bit, embeddings 6-bit, lm_head 8-bit, Lightning Indexer FP16. - **Multimodal (vision) kept.** - Calibration: Vera (agentic-coder) + GSM8K; "floor" recipe keeps the most-salient coding experts. ## Run it Load it in **Osaurus** (Apple Silicon) — it runs on Osaurus's native Swift JANG runtime. ## Attribution - Base model: **MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3** · Pruning: **REAP** (Cerebras, arXiv:2510.13999) - **Vera calibration + testing: [@hornsman1](https://huggingface.co/hornsman1) (hornsan1 on GitHub)** · math calibration: GSM8K - Quantization: **JANG** · Runtime & distribution: **Osaurus**
