Qwen 3.8 Flash-Next Optimized Quality
The 8-bit build of Qwen 3.8 Flash-Next, for Macs with 256 GB or 512 GB. Requires MTPLX 2.12.0 or later.
Qwen's 125B-A6B Flash-Next, the Qwen4-generation hybrid mixture of experts with Qwen Sparse Attention and a 51B-parameter n-gram table, packed for MTPLX with its multi-token prediction head. The main model and the draft head are 8-bit with group size 64, the structural weights stay in BF16, and the n-gram table is 4-bit with group size 32. On a Mac with 128 GB or more, Optimized Speed is the recommended build.
Memory
The model weights, the draft head and the vision tower need about 128.5 GiB, and the 32 GB n-gram table streams from SSD.
- 128 GB: Cannot load. The weights, the draft head and the vision tower alone need about 128.5 GiB.
- 256 GB and 512 GB: the Macs this pack is for, with about 59.5 GiB left for context and the session cache. The MTPLX app and CLI list it second there, after Optimized Speed.
Speed
Speed on 256 GB and 512 GB Macs is not measured yet. The 8-bit weights move twice the bytes per token of Optimized Speed, so expect slower decoding.
What is in the pack
The download is 169.96 GB. size-checksums.json lists the size and SHA-256 of every other file.
Use it
In the Mac app, pick Qwen 3.8 Flash-Next Optimized Quality. From the command line:
pip install mtplx
mtplx serve --model Youssofal/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-MTPLX-Optimized-Quality --model-id mtplx-flash-next-optimized-qualityMTPLX samples at the official Qwen 3.8 settings (temperature 1.0, top-p 0.95, top-k 20), and drafts are accepted with exact speculative sampling, so the output follows the model's own distribution.
