Libraries

How to use OsaurusAI/MiniMax-M3-Coder-Small with MLX:

# Make sure mlx-lm is installed
# pip install --upgrade mlx-lm

# Generate text with mlx-lm
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("OsaurusAI/MiniMax-M3-Coder-Small")

prompt = "Write a story about Einstein"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages, add_generation_prompt=True
)

text = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)

How to use OsaurusAI/MiniMax-M3-Coder-Small with Pi:

Start the MLX server

# Install MLX LM:
uv tool install mlx-lm
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server:
mlx_lm.server --model "OsaurusAI/MiniMax-M3-Coder-Small"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "OsaurusAI/MiniMax-M3-Coder-Small"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

+<p align="center"><b>🦖 Osaurus Exclusive — a compact JANG-quantized MiniMax-M3 coder (coding · agentic · multimodal) for Apple Silicon.</b></p>
+> ⚠️ **Requires vMLX engine v1.5.67+.**
+> This is a **JANG-format** model (JANG affine + **AWQ** quant, **REAP** expert pruning, MiniMax-M3 MSA/Lightning-Indexer runtime). It will **NOT** load with `transformers`, `vLLM`, or generic MLX loaders — it runs on the vMLX engine (ships in **Osaurus**).
+## What is a JANG model?
+**JANG** is vMLX's quantization + packing format: mixed-precision affine quant with per-projection bit widths + **AWQ** activation-aware scaling + **REAP** expert pruning, via a `jang_config.json`. Weights stay quantized in GPU memory and load through vMLX's JANG loader. The format + the M3 runtime are vMLX-specific, so it **runs only on vMLX 1.5.67 or newer.**
+## Highlights
+- **Smallest M3 coder — ~84 GB** (the compact Osaurus build).
+- **REAP45:** keep **70/128** routed experts (45% pruned).
+- **All-2-bit routed experts + AWQ** (gate/up 2-bit AWQ-scaled, down 2-bit); attention 8-bit, shared experts 6-bit, embeddings 6-bit, lm_head 8-bit, Lightning Indexer FP16.
+- **Multimodal (vision) kept.**
+- Calibration: Vera (agentic-coder) + GSM8K; "floor" recipe keeps the most-salient coding experts.
+## Run it
+- In **Osaurus** / vMLX 1.5.67+: pick this model, Start, then chat.
+- CLI: `vmlx-engine serve OsaurusAI/MiniMax-M3-Coder-Small --reasoning-parser minimax_m3 --tool-call-parser minimax_m3`
