Why only 4bit?

  1. Why not bf16/8bit for mlx?
  2. With the current MiniCPM5-2B-MLX name, people naturally assume it's bf16; the 4bit should be there in the name as standard

Thanks for the feedback!

You're right — currently only the 4-bit quantized weights are uploaded here; there's no bf16 or 8-bit variant yet. If there's demand, we can put the bf16 version up as well, so you can quantize it yourself or compare accuracy.
