Measured, not seateddenseresidentllama.cppmlx
Model card ↗Outcome as of 20 September 2026, from the seat registry. The write-up below was made when the model was tested.
Why it was tested
The small reference and runtime test subject - the only model held in GGUF, MLX-native and BF16 simultaneously, which carried the whole runtime comparison. HumanEval 86.8% strict, beating qwen3.6-35b-a3b by being less verbose.
What came of it
Its August record predates the agentic suites entirely. Measured on them 2026-09-10: 0/60 on toolcall - it answers the schema directly instead of reaching for the tool - while scoring 100% on toolscale. synthesis 83.3% ties the best on the board at 4.7 GB, but worldview 45.0% and nullschema 34.7%. Good at everything except noticing it should ask.
