+[MiniMax-M2.7](MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7) optimized for MLX. A mixed-precision quant that balances speed, memory, and accuracy.
+# Usage
+```sh
+# Start server at http://localhost:8080/chat/completions
+uvx --from mlx-lm mlx_lm.server \
+  --host 127.0.0.1 \
+  --port 8080 \
+  --model spicyneuron/MiniMax-M2.7-MLX-4.6bit
+```
+# Methodology
+Quantized with a [mlx-lm fork](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-lm/pull/922), drawing inspiration from Unsloth/AesSedai/ubergarm style mixed-precision GGUFs.
+MLX quantization options differ than llama.cpp, but the principles are the same:
+- Sensitive layers like MoE routing, attention, and output embeddings get higher precision
+- More tolerant layers like MoE experts get lower precision
