# Raon-1 nano (MLX)

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

Provides Raon-1 nano as 4-bit MLX weights for Apple silicon, so developers can run a Korean and English chat model locally on a Mac. For app builders and local model users.

Raon-1 nano (MLX) is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

Made by KRAFTON

## About

### What it is

This repository holds the MLX weights of Raon-1 nano, a compact KRAFTON AI language model, made for Apple silicon. The weights use 4-bit GPTQ quantization with a group size of 64. The card points to an MLX section for a BF16 export too.

### Who it suits

It suits developers and enthusiasts who want a small Korean and English chat model running on a Mac with Apple silicon.

Who might use it

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Software development | Mac developers | Run the model locally with MLX | Testing a chat feature on an Apple silicon laptop |
| Korean-language products | Product teams | Prototype Korean conversation features on a Mac | Trying prompts before choosing a deployment format |
| AI hobbyists | Local model users | Chat with a small bilingual model offline | Asking questions in Korean or English on a personal Mac |

People on Windows or Linux hardware without Apple silicon can skip it and use the main Raon-1 nano repository or the GGUF files.

### Where to use it

- MLX on Apple silicon: the weights are made for it
- Windows, macOS or Linux: you can download the files with Python, though the weights target Apple silicon
- Other runtimes: the card lists Transformers, vLLM, llama.cpp and LiteRT-LM for Raon-1 nano, each with its own files

Jobs it does

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Local chat | Individuals | Replies in Korean or English from a model on their own Mac |
| Instruction following | Developers | Text written to match the instruction given |
| Tool calling | App builders | A choice of tool inside a conversation |

### How to set it up

You need these first:

- Python on Windows, macOS or Linux, to download the files
- A Mac with Apple silicon and MLX, to run the weights

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package.
2. Download the repository files.
3. Load the weights with MLX, following the model card.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download KRAFTON/Raon-1-nano-mlx
```

### How to use it

Download the weights, load them with MLX and send prompts in Korean or English. This command fetches the files.

```sh
hf download KRAFTON/Raon-1-nano-mlx
```

The card lists sampling settings by task for Raon-1 nano.

Recommended sampling settings

| Task | Temperature | Presence penalty |
| --- | --- | --- |
| General chat, knowledge questions, instruction following | 0.1 | 1.5 |
| Agentic work or code | 1.0 | Not set |

Thinking is on by default in the chat template. The output token limit counts both thinking and the final answer, so raise it for longer replies.

### Example

You load the 4-bit weights on a Mac, set temperature to 0.1 and presence penalty to 1.5, and ask a general question in Korean. A text reply comes back, and a short cut-off means the token limit needs raising.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new to this, think of it as a small chat model packed for Apple laptops. Download it and try one short question once MLX is installed.

If you work in the field, the base model is a hybrid of linear and full attention layers with a per-layer embedding and a 262,144-token window. This repository carries the 4-bit GPTQ export in MLX form. The generation config sets the end and padding token IDs but no sampling values.

Download the MLX weights → Load them with MLX on Apple silicon → Set temperature and presence penalty → Send a prompt, read the reply

### Good to know

These weights are 4-bit, and the card points to its MLX section for a BF16 export.

- License: apache-2.0
- Cost to run: none named
- Data it reaches: only the prompts you give it, with no outside service named
- Not for: hardware without Apple silicon, since the weights are made for it
