*Wikipedia-Korean perplexity, lower is better. Q4_K_M = 5.79 baseline. English builds are tuned on English; see each repo. โ€ Separate 80-chunk run (40,960 tokens) on a different model โ€” compare within a model, not across rows.

๐ŸŽ Why MLX for Korean but GGUF for English on iPhone? Apple-native MLX only does uniform quantization. Korean survives it; English needs our proprietary quantization, which only GGUF supports โ€” so the English iPhone build ships as a GGUF you run with PocketPal. Honest, not lazy.

๐Ÿ†• POCKET-26B โ€” a Gemma4-26B-A4B-based sibling that loads in any app today (Ollama ยท LM Studio ยท PocketPal ยท MLX), no bleeding-edge runtime needed: GGUF (Q2_K 11 GB ยท Q4_K_M 17 GB ยท GPQA-Diamond 67%). Universal compatibility for 12 GB phones, PC, and browser.

Speed vs Bonsai

Benchmarks โ€” what is measured, what is not

We measure Bonsai on the same machine with the same stock llama.cpp, and we tell you where we lose.

[measured] Generation speed โ€” POCKET wins on both CPU and GPU:

POCKET-35B IQ1_M Bonsai-27B Q1_0
CPU generate (Xeon, 16t) 27.0 tok/s 10.1 ๐ŸŸข 2.69ร—
GPU generate (H100) 197 tok/s 89 ๐ŸŸข 2.22ร—
GPU prompt (H100) 753 1816 ๐Ÿ”ด 0.41ร—
Quality (HellaSwag, 400q) 61.0% 60.0% โšช tie (CI overlaps)

[measured on a MacBook M3 Pro, 18 GB] โ€” and on a laptop, POCKET wins every axis, including prompt processing:

POCKET-35B IQ1_M Bonsai-27B Q1_0
Metal generate (tg64) 25.4 tok/s 12.8 ๐ŸŸข 1.99ร—
CPU generate (8 threads) 13.8 tok/s 4.4 ๐ŸŸข 3.13ร—
Metal prompt (pp128) 240.7 tok/s 73.4 ๐ŸŸข 3.28ร—
CPU prompt (pp128) 45.5 tok/s 9.6 ๐ŸŸข 4.75ร—

On a laptop GPU the arithmetic headroom that let Bonsai win prefill on an H100 is gone, so MoE sparsity wins across the board. POCKET-35B-Q2_K runs on the M3 Pro's CPU at 19.5 tok/s โ€” on an 18 GB Mac, run Q2_K on CPU (-ngl 0); its 13 GB exceeds the recommended Metal budget.

[measured โ€” GPQA Diamond, 198q, greedy] reasoning quality vs quantization:

Model GPQA-Diamond (greedy)
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B 73.2%
POCKET-35B Q4_K_M 68.7%
POCKET-35B Q2_K 60.1%

[pending โ€” community reports welcome] on-device iPhone and Strix Halo throughput. We publish only what we ran ourselves; help us fill the rest.

The same-size rival Ternary-Bonsai-27B-Q2_0 (7.2 GB) fails to load in upstream llama.cpp โ€” it needs the PrismML fork. POCKET runs on the tools you already have.

Quickstart โ€” no fork needed

# any recent llama.cpp โ€” brew / winget / apt, or LM Studio / Ollama
llama-cli -m POCKET-35B-Q2_K.gguf -p "์•ˆ๋…•ํ•˜์„ธ์š”" -ngl 0 -t 8
# reproduce our CPU numbers:
llama-bench -m POCKET-35B-IQ1_M.gguf -p 128 -n 64 -ngl 0 -t 16

Use physical-core count for -t (max ~32). Do not pass all threads โ€” it can slow down sharply.

Lineage โ€” where POCKET comes from

POCKET is quantized from Darwin-36B-Opus, VIDRAFT's flagship โ€” a model bred and evolved over several generations on the Darwin platform (crossbreeding, healing, expert surgery). Darwin-36B-Opus itself traces back to a Qwen3.5-family MoE architecture.

Component Origin
Starting checkpoint Darwin-36B-Opus โ€” VIDRAFT, multi-generation Darwin evolution
Base architecture Qwen3.5-family MoE (256 experts, top-8), unchanged
Quantization (Q4_K_Mโ€ฆIQ1_M) stock llama.cpp โ€” no custom format
Runtime upstream llama.cpp / Apple MLX โ€” unmodified
Proprietary language-specific tuning (KR/EN builds) ours (VIDRAFT)

The CPU/GPU speed comes from the sparse-MoE architecture plus ordinary quantization โ€” reproducible with the same base and the same tools. What we add is the Darwin-evolved weights, the honest measurement, the Korean tuning, and the pruning that makes the 5 GB phone builds.

Limitations

  • The iPhone/Mac speed is not yet measured by us โ€” community reports welcome.
  • Extreme quants (IQ1_M) hurt Korean ~2.8ร— more than English; use Q2_K or larger for quality.
  • English phone builds trade quality for size; the PC build (PC-mix) is much closer to full quality.
