The Model mlx-community/Phi-4-mini-instruct-8bit was converted to MLX format from microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct using mlx-lm version 0.21.5 .
Use with mlx#

model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/Phi-4-mini-instruct-8bit")
prompt="hello"
if hasattr(tokenizer, "apply_chat_template") and tokenizer.chat_template is not None:

prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
)
