# gpt-oss-120B (6‑bit quantized via MLX‑LM)

**A 6‑bit quantized version of `openai/gpt-oss-120b` created using MLX‑LM.**  
This version significantly reduces inference memory requirements (~90 GB RAM), while retaining most of the model’s original capabilities.

🛠️ Quantization Process

The model was created using the following steps:

* pip uninstall mlx-lm
* pip install git+https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-lm.git@main
* mlx_lm.convert \
  --hf-path openai/gpt-oss-120b \
  --quantize \
  --q-bits 6 \
  --output-dir gpt-oss-120b-MLX-6bit

These commands use the latest MLX‑LM converter to apply a consistent 6‑bit quantization across model weights.
