Who it is forA developer or hobbyist with a laptop or modest GPU who wants to try NeoHorse-1 without a large server.
The problemFull BF16 weights take more disk and memory than a personal machine can spare.
The outcomeA smaller NeoHorse-1 checkpoint running on local hardware, with the quantization level chosen to fit memory limits.
What you need first
- A machine with enough GPU memory for the 4B or 9B BF16 weights, or a quantized GGUF or MLX build for smaller hardware
- Python with pip available
- Disk space for the downloaded checkpoint from Hugging Face or ModelScope
Steps
- Open the NeoHorse-1-4B-GGUF or NeoHorse-1-9B-GGUF page on Hugging Face.
- Choose the 8-bit, 5-bit, or 4-bit file if you need less space, or the 16-bit BF16 file for full precision.
- On Apple silicon, use the MLX versions from the NeoHorse-1 MLX collection on Hugging Face.
- Follow the deployment instructions on that model card for the runtime you choose.
- Send one short prompt and confirm the reply is coherent before running longer tasks.
Prompt for your agent
In the TokenRhythm/NeoHorse repo, find the GGUF build of NeoHorse-1-4B on Hugging Face at <model-page> and pick the 4-bit quantized file. Follow that model card's deployment instructions and return the model's reply to the prompt <test-prompt>. Verify that the file size of the chosen build is smaller than the 16-bit BF16 build.
Caveat. The README names GGUF and MLX builds but does not say which runtime to use with them, so check each model card before choosing one.
