Libraries

How to use nativ-community/JEV-9B-MLX-8bit with MLX:

# Make sure mlx-lm is installed
# pip install --upgrade mlx-lm

# Generate text with mlx-lm
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("nativ-community/JEV-9B-MLX-8bit")

prompt = "Write a story about Einstein"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages, add_generation_prompt=True
)

text = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)

How to use nativ-community/JEV-9B-MLX-8bit with Pi:

Start the MLX server

# Install MLX LM:
uv tool install mlx-lm
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server:
mlx_lm.server --model "nativ-community/JEV-9B-MLX-8bit"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "nativ-community/JEV-9B-MLX-8bit"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

JEV-9B-MLX-8bit

MLX conversion of autotrust/JEV-9B for mlx-vlm, with the System 1 LoRA (including its lm_head update) merged and lm_head, the decision readout, kept unquantized. JEV is a decision model: it returns a probability for every option of a question in one forward pass and does not generate text.

JEV support is not yet in an mlx-vlm release:

pip install "git+https://github.com/Lazarus-931/mlx-vlm.git@feat/jev"

from mlx_vlm import load, predict

model, processor = load("nativ-community/JEV-9B-MLX-8bit")
result = predict(model, processor, "The parcel arrived damaged and I want my money back.", {
    "refund": {"type": "bool", "instructions": "Is the customer asking for a refund?"},
})
print(result["answers"]["refund"]["value"])

Field	Value
Source	`autotrust/JEV-9B`
Source revision	`b63f651ce8ed64481d3f5e73ecdb05f740042f01`
Quantization	`affine 8-bit, group size 64`
mlx-vlm	`Lazarus-931/mlx-vlm@feat/jev`
Verification	Same answer as autotrust's System 1 recipe (bf16 backbone + adapter_vllm merged with peft, option-token logits + bias, per-kind temperature) on 4/4 test questions (bool, choice, score, JSON state, 20 options in one pass); identical token ids on 4/4 forward passes; largest probability gap 0.0077
