Are you planning a heretic version of Qwen3.5‑122B?

Thanks for releasing the uncensored versions. Do you plan to make one for Qwen3.5‑122B (GGUF) as well?

Yes and no, I actually tried twice to do that for Qwen3.5‑122B, the issue is the enormous size, this model on it's own is about 250GB, so you would need more than 250GB of VRAM to do it, right now the biggest VRAM possible is on the H200 which has 141GB of VRAM and cost over 30000-35000 USD in the US and about 35000 EUR in the EU and you would need 2 of these (141 GB x 2 = 282 GB of VRAM), So the answer is yes I would love to do it for Qwen3.5‑122B and Qwen3.5-397B and other big models too, I just need to figure how I am going to do it and there are a few other ways that I could try to do it, but I would need to open up donations with Ko-Fi or Patreon or something to help cover the costs.

Can it be done on a 512GB Mac?

Well I don't know much about Mac support, but I am assuming you are talking about the Mac Studio with the M3 Ultra chip and 512GB of Unified memory? This has enough RAM, the issue is the support, Mac doesn't have CUDA support (Mac has "Metal") and there are currently as far as I understand no Mac support for transformers and well you need transformers, what could maybe work (not sure) is if you had a computer that has CUDA and transformers and you connected that PC to the the Mac and used the Mac only as a compute workhorse, that could work if such a setup was possible, the issue is that I have no idea how fast/slow this would be nor if it would even work.

I have a 128GB M4 Max and transformers does work for me, what didn't work was accelerate and bitsandbytes. Not sure if these are required (usually I can make things work without them)?

Yes they are required, you need:

accelerate: 1.13 https://pypi.org/project/accelerate/1.13.0/

and

bitsandbytes: 0.49 https://pypi.org/project/bitsandbytes/0.49.2/

I think accelerate and bitsandbytes are just for saving memory (quantization and gradient accumulation etc), I've ran multiple repos without them on macOS which normally use them on nvidia cards because nvidia cards have little memory compared to macs. For bitsandbytes I usually just remove it from dependencies and for accelerate there's usually a way to run without it, since it's just like a wrapper that provides optimization. Maybe worth a shot.

Edit: Accelerate is supported on mac, but people usually use it with bitsandbytes to run models quantized, which won't work on mac, so either run with accelerate and disable quantization or just run without it. If you're not going to do this quantized anyway then I don't think there's any loss by running without these.
