How to Get Started with the Model
Use the code below to get started with the model:
from mlx_lm import load, generate
# Load the model and tokenizer
model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/gpt-oss-120b-MXFP4-Q4")
# Generate text
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms."}]
formatted_prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages, add_generation_prompt=True
)
response = generate(
    model,
    tokenizer,
    prompt=formatted_prompt,
    max_tokens=500,
