Memory

Hugging Face does not list a weights size for this build, so there is no memory estimate.

Estimated from the size of the weights, plus a fifth for context and working memory and 2 GB for macOS and your apps. Long contexts need more.

Run it

Terminal · Hugging Face CLI
$ pip install -U huggingface_hub
$ hf download mlx-community/VL-Rethinker-72B-4bit
