I wish when someone publishes something like this included the amount of RAM required! It spits the value out when it runs. And include which specific Apple Silicon CPU.

This Qwen3-30B-A3B-8bit - how much RAM under MLX?

My 16GB Apple Silicon Macs want to play.

With 16gb you can comfortably run a 12b model that's been quantized. Quantizing is (bad example) effectively lossy compression.
