An experimental NanoSeedLM (SeedLM) compression of IFM/K2-Horizon-MoVA-36B-A4B for Apple Silicon Macs with 32 GB of unified memory. SeedLM keeps each block of 8 weights as a 16-bit seed of a linear feedback shift register (LFSR), 4 coefficients and an exponent. The GPU makes the weights again from the seed at run time. The paper used an FPGA for this. This model uses Metal kernels on the Mac GPU. This is a research proof of concept. It is not a replacement for a calibrated quantization. - Six safetensors shards (22.76 GB in total, at most 4.5 GB each) and model.safetensors.index.json. The other files are config.json, the tokenizer files of the base model and nanoseedlmk2.py, the MLX loader.…
