# Apodex-1.1-mini MLX

MLX conversion of [apodex/Apodex-1.1-mini](https://huggingface.co/apodex/Apodex-1.1-mini), a 35.95B-parameter Qwen3.5 MoE model for research, data, files, code, and tool-driven work.

This text-only release is optimized for Apple silicon with `mlx-lm`.

## Upstream benchmarks

*Results reported by Apodex AI from evaluations of the original Apodex-1.1 model using FrontierAgent, its agent harness and evaluation suite.*

![Apodex-1.1-mini benchmark results](assets/apodex-1.1-mini-benchmarks.png)

*Results reported by Apodex AI from evaluations of the original Apodex-1.1-mini checkpoint using FrontierAgent. With the Agent Team workflow, it scored 27.7 on APEX-Agent, 50.2 on FrontierFinance, and 51.7 on FrontierScience-Research.*

## Release

| Format | Quantization | Size |
| --- | --- | ---: |
| MLX safetensors | Affine 4-bit, group size 64 | 19.5 GB |

The MoE router and shared-expert gate weights remain at 8-bit; other eligible weights use affine 4-bit quantization. Image input and native MTP are not included in this MLX release.

## Usage

```bash
pip install -U mlx-lm

mlx_lm.generate \
  --model abenzerps/Apodex-1.1-mini-MLX \
  --prompt "Explain why reproducible builds matter." \
  --max-tokens 512 --temp 0.7
```

The 19.5 GB weights require additional unified memory for the runtime and KV cache, particularly at long context lengths. To disable thinking, pass `--chat-template-config '{"enable_thinking": false}'`.
