Fully Unleashed! Introducing the Uncensored Version of Qwen3.8-27B with Safety Restrictions Stripped Away!
Hats off to the community’s speed! Deeply optimized for Mac M-series chips!
Many are discussing the deployment of ling-3.0-flash on DGX Spark, but the first reaction is often that the computing power is too expensive to afford.
Since cloud costs are high, why not deploy this true local multimodal powerhouse directly on your Mac: Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-MLX.
Key highlights:
-
Zero Refusal: Orthogonally decoupled from the refusal direction, directly complying with various extreme red-team/safety research instructions.
-
Full Capability Retention: Multimodal image understanding, thought control, tool use, and a massive 262K long context are all preserved.
-
High-Quality Weights: The core vision tower maintains BF16 precision, with only the language linear layers undergoing Affine quantization.
-
Memory Requirements: Recommended 4-bit version (requires only 15GB of disk space, runs smoothly on 24GB RAM Macs); for lossless quality, the 8-bit option is available (27.5GB disk space, requires 32GB RAM) - choose based on your setup.
3-Step Simple Local Deployment (OpenAI API Compatible):
(1) Upgrade the library:
pip install -U mlx-vlm
(2) Download the 4-bit weights:
hf download orcarouter/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-MLX --include "4-bit/*" --local-dir ./Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-MLX
(3) Launch the local API server with one command:
python -m mlx-vlm server --model ./Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-MLX/4-bit --port 8080
Local deployment, completely uncensored. It’s truly unleashing the full potential.

@nicekate8888: For the past twenty days, I've been obsessing over one thing — how to make Qwen3.6-27B run fast and well on my Mac. I started with Unsloth Q5, got 18 tok/s, and the fan was roaring. Then I switched to MLX 6bit + DFlash, hitting 22 tok/s, still not fast enough. Eventually I found MTPLX 4bit: 43 tok/s with good quality.
The user shares their experience optimizing Qwen3.6-27B inference speed on a Mac using different quantization methods (Unsloth Q5, MLX 6bit + DFlash, MTPLX 4bit), ultimately reaching 43 tok/s.

@Xudong07452910: A hot comment section on Hacker News: Qwen 3.6 27B is the ideal choice for local development. Key findings: dense parameter model, native support for 256k context, running Q8_0 quantized version at 30 tokens/…
Qwen 3.6 27B is a dense 27B model that achieves impressive performance on local hardware with 256k context, running at 30 tokens/s on MacBook Max M5 and 50 tokens/s on RTX 5090, and is considered by some as the first local model with true general intelligence.
Qwen3.8-27B is now up to ~3× faster on Apple Silicon with mlx-dspark
mlx-dspark v0.10.0 adds support for Qwen3.8-27B on Apple Silicon, providing up to 3x faster inference through speculative decoding with lossless verification.
