> **7.1x** smaller than FP16 | **5.2x** faster on M4 Pro | **27** tok/s on iPhone | runs on Mac, iPhone, iPad The information-theoretic cost is log2(3) ≈ 1.585 bits per weight, plus FP16 group scales (16 bits per 128 weights), for a theoretical minimum of ~1.71 bits/weight. This release uses the MLX 2-bit format, which stores each ternary value in 2 bits plus group scales, for an effective ~2.125 bits/weight. The addition of a zero value compared to binary (1-bit) provides more expressive weight representations, allowing better preservation of model quality under extreme compression.

Limitations & considerations

Sources are insufficient to establish specific limitations. Verify task performance, latency, data policies, licensing and version lifecycle.

PRICING & COST

Source prices & cost analysis

Prices vary by channel, region and configuration. Channel quotes are listed independently and are not treated as a single official provider price.

Frequently asked questions

Do open weights permit free commercial use?

Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Are these real-time billing prices?

These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
