MODEL_INDEX.md

Model and repository index

The Hugging Face Hub uses sibling repositories grouped by a collection. The main repository links them; it does not contain nested Git repositories or any model weights. Each download selects one variant and shared components.

Repository under devin-lai/	Contents	Selection
MiniMax-H3-Image-mlx	Inference source, documentation, tests and comparison records	Install once
MiniMax-H3-Image-mlx-packed12	Fifty losslessly packed main DiT blocks	Recommended exact storage choice
MiniMax-H3-Image-mlx-bf16	Original complete BF16/FP32 transformer	Unmodified storage control
MiniMax-H3-Image-mlx-q8	Q8 main blocks and token refiners, group 64	Smaller weights, image changes
MiniMax-H3-Image-mlx-q4	Q4 main blocks and token refiners, group 64	Smallest core, larger image changes
MiniMax-H3-Image-mlx-shared	VAE, PDD heads, native support, configs and modulation tables	Fetched as needed, reused across variants
MiniMax-H3-Image-mlx-examples	Generated images and visual comparisons	Optional gallery, with manual access review

The unchanged encoder is fetched from MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3 at revision 0919fb684102ef115126612f3fbb84d1027e7317. Only its text_encoder/ directory and license are selected. This is about 62.14 GiB of weights and tokenizer files; it is a substantial first download. An existing copy can be reused with --text-encoder-path.

The image source is MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3-Image at revision 6534ea1c979a5f8cb00c2bd1025d5ca4ee8d8901. All uploaded model files receive SHA-256 manifests; the runtime catalog pins each component repository to a full commit ID. A v0.4.1 tag provides a human-readable release name. Runtime options such as compiled execution, VAE tile batches and reduced steps do not create additional model repositories.

Files are linked to Hugging Face's cache rather than copied. Keep that cache while using the assembled directory. --local-files-only supports cached, offline assembly. --verify rehashes all selected image-model files; the encoder download uses the Hub's pinned, content-addressed download mechanism. Download size is different from runtime memory. The prepared release's exact file sizes are recorded in each repository's files.json manifest.
