Qwen3 VL 8B Instruct
Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct-MLX-5bit is a quantized version of the Qwen3 vision-language model optimized for MLX on Apple silicon. It supports multimodal inputs including text, images, and tools, enabling local execution of complex vision-language tasks. The model is distributed on Hugging Face for use with Transformers, MLX, and local inference tools.
