Libraries

How to use inferencerlabs/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-MLX-9bit 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("inferencerlabs/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-MLX-9bit")

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

Pi new

How to use inferencerlabs/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-MLX-9bit with Pi:

Start the MLX server

# Install MLX LM:
uv tool install mlx-lm
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server:
mlx_lm.server --model "inferencerlabs/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-MLX-9bit"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "inferencerlabs/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-MLX-9bit"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

 In this build, the 4-bit pre-quantized weights of the base model were repacked (rather than dequantized and re-quantized to 9-bit), as this approach performed slightly better in our initial coding tests. All remaining weights were quantized to 9-bit. It also includes a temporary chat template. Stay tuned for updates.
