North Micro Vision Instruct — 4-bit affine (MLX)
This repository contains an Apple MLX conversion of CohereLabs/North-Micro-Vision-Instruct. 4-bit affine MLX quantization with group size 64.
It belongs to the North Vision MLX collection, which includes BF16, affine 4/5/6/8-bit, MXFP4, MXFP8, and NVFP4 variants.
Conversion details
- Source: CohereLabs/North-Micro-Vision-Instruct
- Format: MLX / MLX-VLM
- Quantization: bits: 4; group size: 64; mode: affine
- MLX-VLM source revision: main at 7ee8eba3
The repository was regenerated and uploaded directly with the MLX-VLM conversion CLI:
python -m mlx_vlm convert \
--hf-path CohereLabs/North-Micro-Vision-Instruct \
--mlx-path North-Micro-Vision-Instruct-4bit \
--quantize --q-bits 4 --q-group-size 64 --q-mode affine \
--upload-repo mlx-community/North-Micro-Vision-Instruct-4bit
Usage
Cohere Compass support is available on the current MLX-VLM main branch. Install it directly from GitHub:
pip install -U "mlx-vlm @ git+https://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-vlm.git"
Run vision-language inference:
mlx_vlm.generate \
--model mlx-community/North-Micro-Vision-Instruct-4bit \
--image /path/to/image.jpg \
--prompt "Describe this image." \
--max-tokens 512 \
--temperature 0.0
You can also pass an image URL to --image.
Notes
- MLX is optimized for Apple silicon.
- This repository changes the storage precision/quantization, not the source model architecture or intended behavior.
- Refer to the original model card for capabilities, limitations, licensing context, and responsible-use guidance.
