Users are experimenting with MiniMax-H3 on their Apple Silicon devices.

I’ve been using MiniMax H3 on my M5 Pro 64GB MacBook Pro through ComfyUI. It works extremely well.

Some users are concerned about memory requirements and speed.

This still requires 128Gb of memory, right? Me and my lowly 96Gb, like a commoner; missing out on the fun.

Technical Details

Modifying ComfyUI workflows with custom nodes like city96’s ComfyUI-GGUF can improve performance.

I use the model labeled Q5_K_M. There is Q8_0 available as well, which is 34GB and fits fine in 64GB unified memory if you keep resolution modest.
