Run Raon-1 mini preview on M5 Max

The LLMCheck index estimates Raon-1 mini preview at ~99 tok/s on an M5 Max at Q4_K_M, a figure from its published bandwidth model, not a measured run. It needs about 18 GB of unified memory. It is KRAFTON's 28.8B mixture-of-experts model (4.3B active), released under the Apache 2.0 licence.

Runtime caveat

Needs KRAFTON's own llama.cpp branch (upstream support pending) or MLX with trust_remote_code; there is no Ollama or LM Studio support and no published Mac measurement.

Every figure for Raon-1 mini preview on the M5 Max

Each row as the index holds it, with its source. “Mac RAM” is the memory of the Mac a run used, not the model’s requirement (18 GB). The headline figure follows the reference rule: the lower-median measured plain-decode run at 5 bits or fewer (a run whose quant was not stated counts only when no stated-quant run qualifies), else the estimate; a run marked “not used to anchor estimates” is listed here but never becomes the headline.

Setup: run Raon-1 mini preview on a Mac

Ollama — the index has not verified an Ollama tag for Raon-1 mini preview, so it doesn’t print one (a guessed tag fails with “pull model manifest: file does not exist”). Search the Ollama library →

MLX — pick a build from Hugging Face’s MLX listings, then run it with its repo id:

pip install -U mlx-lm
mlx_lm.generate --model <repo-id> --prompt "Hello"

About Raon-1 mini preview

KRAFTON's Apache 2.0 preview MoE trained from scratch (21 Oct 2026): 28.8B total, 4.3B active, 262K context, text only, Korean-first across seven languages, thinking mode by default. KRAFTON's card (preview, vendor-run, GPT judge) reports GPQA Diamond 84.3, LiveCodeBench v6 81.6 and SWE-bench Verified 70.8 on mini-SWE-agent, with MMLU-Pro 76.5 below its Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4 comparators. Official GGUFs start at 16.1 GB (IQ4_XS), so it targets 24 GB Macs, but only through KRAFTON's llama.cpp branch or remote-code MLX; specs may change before the final release.
