# QwQ-32B-MLX-Q5

`QwQ-32B-MLX-Q5` is an MLX Q5 checkpoint derived from `Qwen/QwQ-32B`, intended for local text generation on Apple Silicon.

## Intended use

- Local text generation and chat-style prompting on Apple Silicon
- MLX-LM experimentation with the declared upstream model family
- Offline or operator-controlled inference workflows

## Out of scope

- Safety-critical decisions without domain expert review
- Claims of benchmark superiority not backed by published evaluation data
- Non-MLX runtime guarantees; this card documents the shipped HF checkpoint, not every possible serving stack

## Training and conversion metadata

| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Repository | `LibraxisAI/QwQ-32B-MLX-Q5` |
| Base model | `Qwen/QwQ-32B` |
| Task | `text-generation` |
| Library | `mlx` |
| Format | MLX / Apple Silicon checkpoint |
| Quantization | Q5 |
| Architecture | Qwen2ForCausalLM |
| Model files | 5 |
| Config model_type | `qwen2` |

This card only reports metadata present in the Hugging Face repository, existing card frontmatter, or public config files. Missing benchmark, dataset, or training-run details are left explicit rather than reconstructed.

## Tested inference path

> **Inference for this checkpoint has been tested with [`LibraxisAI/mlx-batch-server`](https://github.com/LibraxisAI/mlx-batch-server).**\
> This is the recommended tested path for operator-controlled local inference on Apple Silicon.

| Aspect | Status |
|---|---|
| Tested runtime | `LibraxisAI/mlx-batch-server` |
| Target hardware | Apple Silicon |
| Inference mode | Local / self-hosted |
| Hugging Face Hosted Inference | Disabled for this repository (`inference: false`) |

This does not claim compatibility with every possible serving stack. It documents the path that has been exercised for this published checkpoint.

## Usage

### CLI

```bash
pip install mlx-lm

mlx_lm.generate \
  --model LibraxisAI/QwQ-32B-MLX-Q5 \
  --prompt "Summarize the key signals in this document and list the next action items." \
  --max-tokens 400
```

### Python

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("LibraxisAI/QwQ-32B-MLX-Q5")

prompt = "Summarize the key signals in this document and list the next action items."
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=400)
print(response)
```

### Multi-turn with the chat template

This checkpoint follows the tokenizer/chat-template contract inherited from `Qwen/QwQ-32B` when the
template is present in the repository:

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("LibraxisAI/QwQ-32B-MLX-Q5")

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the key signals in this document and list the next action items."},
]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False)
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=400)
print(response)
```

## Example output

No public sample output is currently declared for this checkpoint.

## Quantization notes

| Aspect | Original/base checkpoint | This checkpoint |
|---|---|---|
| Lineage | `Qwen/QwQ-32B` | `LibraxisAI/QwQ-32B-MLX-Q5` |
| Runtime target | Upstream runtime format | MLX on Apple Silicon |
| Quantization | Base precision or upstream-declared format | Q5 |
| Published quality delta | Not declared in public metadata | Not declared in public metadata |

## Limitations

- No public benchmarks for this checkpoint are declared in the model metadata.
- No public benchmark claims are made by this card unless listed in the frontmatter.
- Validate outputs on your own domain data before relying on this checkpoint.
- Memory use and speed depend heavily on the exact Apple Silicon generation, unified-memory size, and prompt length.
