	# Apodex-1.1-mini MLX

	MLX conversion of [apodex/Apodex-1.1-mini](https://huggingface.co/apodex/Apodex-1.1-mini), a 35.95B-parameter Qwen3.5 MoE model for research, data, files, code, and tool-driven work.

	This text-only release is optimized for Apple silicon with `mlx-lm`.

	## Upstream benchmarks

	![Apodex-1.1 benchmark results](assets/apodex-1.1-benchmarks.png)

	Results reported by Apodex AI from evaluations of the original Apodex-1.1 model using FrontierAgent, its agent harness and evaluation suite.

	![Apodex-1.1-mini benchmark results](assets/apodex-1.1-mini-benchmarks.png)

	Results reported by Apodex AI from evaluations of the original Apodex-1.1-mini checkpoint using FrontierAgent. With the Agent Team workflow, it scored 27.7 on APEX-Agent, 50.2 on FrontierFinance, and 51.7 on FrontierScience-Research.

	## Release

	\| Format \| Quantization \| Size \|
	\| --- \| --- \| ---: \|
	\| MLX safetensors \| Affine 4-bit, group size 64 \| 19.5 GB \|

	The MoE router and shared-expert gate weights remain at 8-bit; other eligible weights use affine 4-bit quantization. Image input and native MTP are not included in this MLX release.

	## Usage

	```bash
	pip install -U mlx-lm

	mlx_lm.generate \
	--model abenzerps/Apodex-1.1-mini-MLX \
	--prompt "Explain why reproducible builds matter." \
	--max-tokens 512 --temp 0.7
	```

	The 19.5 GB weights require additional unified memory for the runtime and KV cache, particularly at long context lengths. To disable thinking, pass `--chat-template-config '{"enable_thinking": false}'`.
