# Llama-3.2-Taiwan-3B-Arbor-4bit

`masato25/Llama-3.2-Taiwan-3B-Arbor-4bit` is an Apple MLX 4-bit quantized derivative of [`lianghsun/Llama-3.2-Taiwan-3B`](https://huggingface.co/lianghsun/Llama-3.2-Taiwan-3B).

This was prepared in response to the GGUF-only repository [`QuantFactory/Llama-3.2-Taiwan-3B-GGUF`](https://huggingface.co/QuantFactory/Llama-3.2-Taiwan-3B-GGUF). The MLX conversion is made from the upstream safetensors model (`lianghsun/Llama-3.2-Taiwan-3B`), not by converting GGUF weights back to another format.

This conversion is intended for local inference on Apple Silicon using MLX / MLX-LM. It preserves the upstream model architecture and tokenizer files, while quantizing supported linear weights to 4-bit for a smaller memory footprint.

Python example:

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("masato25/Llama-3.2-Taiwan-3B-Arbor-4bit")
prompt = "中華民國憲法第一條"
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=128)
print(response)
```
