Have you compared it to the 1.58 bit dynamic quant model based on the original R1 (i.e., not a distillation)? Whatever unsloth did, it doesn't seem to be giving up much reasoning performance over the full Q8 version.

It's simply bc the model is small (1.5B), making it sensitive to weight perturbations

Is there a GGUF version of your model anywhere that you recommend? I'm on a Mac.

Think there are some people who made GGUFs as branches of our model, try it out!

Is there a MLX version that can be added to the fullmoon iOS app?
