AX Qwen3 Coder Next MLX 6-bit

Parameter count: approximately 79.67B logical parameters (80B total, 3B active per token). 6-bit is the quantization precision, not a 6B model-size claim.

This is a revision-pinned, transparent mirror of mlx-community/Qwen3-Coder-Next-6bit at commit 9d12cc36cc6c386ffd04f7c8f0de6ccb29c5927e.

The model weights, index, configuration, tokenizer, chat template, generation configuration, and tool-parser files are byte-identical to that upstream revision. AutomatosX did not fine-tune, merge, re-quantize, or otherwise alter the model artifacts. We add only mirror documentation, a copy of the declared Apache 2.0 license, and machine-readable provenance.

Model details

• Base model: Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-Next
• Format: MLX Safetensors for Apple Silicon
• Architecture: Qwen3NextForCausalLM, mixture of experts
• Main quantization: 6-bit affine, group size 64
• Quantization exceptions: router and shared-expert gate tensors remain 8-bit, as defined by the unchanged upstream config
• Layers: 48
• Experts: 512 total, 10 selected per token
• Configured context limit: 262,144 tokens
• Weight shards: 13, totaling 64,749,929,465 bytes
• Upstream conversion tool: mlx-lm 0.30.5

Download

hf download AutomatosX/AX-Qwen3-Coder-Next-MLX-6bit \
  --local-dir ./AX-Qwen3-Coder-Next-MLX-6bit

Use with MLX-LM

pip install mlx-lm
mlx_lm.generate \
  --model AutomatosX/AX-Qwen3-Coder-Next-MLX-6bit \
  --prompt "Write a Python function that merges two sorted lists."

Applications should apply the included chat template for conversational or tool-using prompts.

Serve with AX Engine

You can also serve the downloaded model through the OpenAI-compatible API in AX Engine:

ax-engine serve ./AX-Qwen3-Coder-Next-MLX-6bit --port 31418

Mirror policy and provenance

This release is meant to group a required upstream artifact under the AutomatosX catalog, not to claim a new conversion. UPSTREAM_README.md preserves the original upstream model card. ax_provenance.json pins the source commit and records SHA-256 values and sizes for every mirrored artifact.

This is a standard direct-decoding model. It does not contain an MTP head and no MTP conversion was applied.
