Runs the MLX build, typically up to 10% faster than GGUF for a model with 111.2B active parameters on Apple silicon.

Also good:

Windows PC, NVIDIA GPU

Ollama

One command with Ollama’s own build of this model.

Also good:

Windows PC, AMD Radeon

Lemonade

AMD’s own app: llama.cpp tuned for Radeon on Vulkan and ROCm.

Also good:

Linux, NVIDIA GPU

Ollama

One command with Ollama’s own build of this model.

Also good:

Linux server, 80 GB+ GPUs

vLLM
