# OpenThai-SystemOne — mlx-8bit

[OpenThai-SystemOne](https://huggingface.co/iapp/OpenThai-SystemOne) is an open Thai + English **System One decision model**: one forward
pass answers typed questions (`choice` over up to 255 options, ordinal `score`, yes/no `noul`) about a text / JSON state with
calibrated probabilities, no text generation. It is a Qwen3.5-0.8B text tower (Thai continued pre-training) plus a 256-slot
decision head. This repo is a quantization of **v0.3** (commit `f3709948`).

**What is quantized:** the tower including the token embeddings (MLX quantizes the embedding table too). The 256-slot decision head and the per-type temperatures stay in fp32 (`head.safetensors`). Quantization therefore only perturbs the hidden state the head reads.

**Format:** MLX 8-bit affine (group 64) for Apple Silicon ([mlx-lm](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-lm)). mlx-lm runs the tower; the included
client applies the decision head on the final hidden states. Size: 800 MB.

Measured on a MacBook Pro M3 Max: 4-bit ≈ 19 ms per 3-question Thai decision (the PyTorch model on MPS: ~150 ms).

## Usage

```bash
pip install mlx-lm torch transformers safetensors pydantic
huggingface-cli download iapp/OpenThai-SystemOne-MLX-8bit --local-dir openthai-mlx
```

```python
import sys; sys.path.insert(0, "openthai-mlx")
from openthai_systemone.mlx_client import MLXSystemOneClient
c = MLXSystemOneClient("openthai-mlx")
r = c.system_one("ร้านนี้อาหารอร่อยมาก แต่รอนานเกือบชั่วโมง", {"sentiment": {"type": "choice", "instructions": "ความรู้สึก",
                 "criteria": {"บวก": None, "ลบ": None, "กลาง": None}}})
print(r.answers["sentiment"].choice, r.answers["sentiment"].probabilities)
```

## Accuracy vs the bf16 original (same records, single option order, first 800 per set)

Macro: public 74.2 (original 74.3), Thai 80.0 (original 80.1).

## Notes

- Scores are single-option-order accuracy on the first 800 records of each set (`scripts/06_eval.py --limit 800`), the same
  records for the original and the quantization. `score` subsets report exact level accuracy.
