Outlier-Ai/Outlier-Vision-35B-A3B-MLX-4bit

Part of the Outlier shipping lineup. Outlier is a free macOS app that runs this model locally, with one click. Apple Silicon only.

Outlier Vision 35B-A3B (MLX 4-bit)

Multimodal MoE tier with image+text input (35B params, ~3.6B active per token). Optimized for image+text analysis, not code generation — use Core or Code for coding workflows.

Try it in Outlier

The simplest way to use this model is through the Outlier app — open the tier picker, select Outlier Vision, click download, and chat. No setup, no Python, no MLX install, no token quotas.

➡ Download Outlier — outlier.host

A screenshot of the tier picker is at outlier.host/screenshots/tier-picker.png.

Load this directly (power users)

If you want the raw MLX-4bit weights without the app:

pip install mlx-lm
python -m mlx_lm.generate \
  --model Outlier-Ai/Outlier-Vision-35B-A3B-MLX-4bit \
  --prompt "Write a quicksort in Python." \
  --max-tokens 512

from mlx_lm import load, generate
model, tokenizer = load("Outlier-Ai/Outlier-Vision-35B-A3B-MLX-4bit")
print(generate(model, tokenizer, prompt="Hello", max_tokens=256))
