MLX Studio — the only app that natively supports JANG models with reasoning
---
> **93% MMLU at same size as MLX 4-bit.** JANG_4M matches MLX 4-bit quality with 8-bit attention protection. Hybrid Mamba-2 SSM + Latent MoE + Attention.
> **LM Studio, Ollama, oMLX do NOT support JANG format.** Use **[MLX Studio](https://mlx.studio)** or \`pip install "jang[mlx]>=2.1.5"\`.

> **JANG is fully open-source.** Quantization engine, research, and full commit history: [github.com/jjang-ai/jangq](https://github.com/jjang-ai/jangq). Created by [Jinho Jang](mailto:eric@jangq.ai).
## Key Features
- **93.0% MMLU** (200 questions, reasoning mode) — matches MLX 4-bit at same size
- **55.1 tok/s** generation, 154 tok/s prefill
- **63 GB** on disk, 61.2 GB GPU RAM
- **Reasoning mode**: \`...\` step-by-step problem solving
- **Hybrid architecture**: 40 Mamba-2 SSM + 40 Latent MoE (512 experts) + 8 Dense Attention layers
- **bfloat16 compute**: auto-detected for 512-expert models
## Results: JANG vs MLX (200-question MMLU)
Per-subject comparison. All models tested with and without reasoning using identical methodology.

### Summary
| | JANG_4M | JANG_2L | MLX 4-bit | MLX 3-bit |
|--|---------|---------|-----------|-----------|
| **MMLU (no-think)** | 72.5% | **75.0%** | 71.0% | Crashes |
| **MMLU (reasoning)** | **93.0%** | 86.0% | 93.5% | Crashes |
| **Size** | 63 GB | **43 GB** | 63 GB | N/A |
| **GPU RAM** | 61.2 GB | **42.4 GB** | 63.3 GB | N/A |
| **Speed** | 55.1 tok/s | 51.6 tok/s | 59.8 tok/s | N/A |
| **Fits 64 GB?** | YES | **YES** | YES | N/A |
JANG_4M nearly ties MLX 4-bit (93.0% vs 93.5%) at the same 63 GB size with 8-bit attention protection.
MLX 3-bit cannot be created — \`mlx_lm.convert\` crashes on Nemotron's mtp.* weights. Only JANG can produce sub-4-bit quantizations.
Also see: [JANG_2L (43 GB)](https://huggingface.co/JANGQ-AI/Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-JANG_2L) — 20 GB smaller, fits 64 GB Macs, 75% no-think / 86% reasoning.

## Requirements
- **Apple Silicon Mac** with 64+ GB unified memory
- **[MLX Studio](https://mlx.studio)** or \`pip install "jang[mlx]>=2.1.5"\`
## Quick Start
\`\`\`bash
pip install "jang[mlx]>=2.1.5"
\`\`\`
\`\`\`python
from jang_tools.loader import load_jang_model
from mlx_lm import generate
model, tokenizer = load_jang_model("JANGQ-AI/Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-JANG_4M")
# With reasoning
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing."}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False,
add_generation_prompt=True, enable_thinking=True)
result = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=2048)
# Without reasoning (faster)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False,
add_generation_prompt=True, enable_thinking=False)
result = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=100)
\`\`\`
## Technical Notes
- **Latent MoE**: Nemotron-H compresses hidden states 4096→1024 before expert routing. JANG loader handles this automatically.
- **bfloat16**: Auto-detected for 512-expert models. Prevents float16 overflow. Zero quality impact.
- **trust_remote_code**: Custom Python files included (modeling_nemotron_h.py, configuration_nemotron_h.py).
