+## Model Variants
+
+Choose the quantization that best fits your hardware:
+
+| Variant | Size | Bits/Weight | RAM Needed | Quality | Speed | Use Case |
+|---------|------|-------------|------------|---------|-------|----------|
+| [**8-bit**](https://huggingface.co/richardyoung/Kimi-K2-Instruct-0905-MLX-8bit) | ~1.0 TB | 8.501 | 1+ TB | Highest | Slower | Maximum quality |

+
+### Which Quantization Should I Choose?
+
+- **8-bit:** If you have 1+ TB RAM and want maximum quality
+- **6-bit:** ⭐ **Best balance** - recommended for most users with 800+ GB RAM
+- **4-bit:** If you have 512-768 GB RAM and can accept some quality loss
+- **2-bit:** Only if you have <512 GB RAM and are willing to accept significant quality degradation
+
+---
+
+## System Requirements
+
+### Minimum Requirements
+
+- **Hardware:** Apple Silicon (M1 Pro/Max/Ultra, M2 Pro/Max/Ultra, M3 Max, M4 Max/Ultra)
+- **RAM:** 800 GB minimum (model + context + overhead)
+- **Storage:** 800 GB free space
+- **OS:** macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later
+
+### Recommended Configuration
+
+- **Hardware:** Mac Studio M2 Ultra with 192GB+ RAM, or Mac Pro
+- **RAM:** 1 TB+ (allows for longer contexts and multiple concurrent operations)
+- **Storage:** 1 TB+ SSD (fast NVMe for better loading times)
+- **OS:** macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
+
+### Performance Tips
+
+1. **Close other applications** to free up RAM

+
+---
+
+## Limitations
+
+### Technical Limitations
+
+- **Very High Memory Requirements:** Requires 800+ GB RAM, limiting accessibility
+- **Long Load Times:** Model loading can take 5-10 minutes due to size
+- **Slower Inference:** Compared to smaller models (trade-off for quality)
+- **Apple Silicon Only:** Optimized specifically for M-series chips
+- **Quantization Effects:** Minor quality degradation vs original FP8 model
+- **Context Limits:** While 256K token context is supported, actual limits depend on available RAM
+
+### Content Limitations
+
+- May exhibit biases present in training data
+- Knowledge cutoff date limitations (September 2024)
+- Can occasionally generate incorrect or nonsensical information
+- May struggle with very specialized or niche topics
+- Performance may vary across different languages (best in English and Chinese)
+
+### Operational Considerations
+
+- **Not suitable for real-time applications** with strict latency requirements
+- **High computational cost** for inference
+- **Not optimized for batch processing** of many parallel requests
+- **Requires substantial cooling** during extended use
+
+---
+
+## Ethical Considerations
+
+### Intended Use
+
+This model is intended for:
+
+- ✅ Research in natural language processing and AI
+- ✅ Educational purposes and learning
+- ✅ Development of applications with appropriate safeguards
+- ✅ Content creation with human oversight
+- ✅ Code assistance and software development
+- ✅ Mathematical and logical reasoning tasks
+- ✅ Commercial applications (Apache 2.0 license)
+
+### Out-of-Scope Use
+
+This model should **NOT** be used for:
+
+- ❌ Making critical decisions without human oversight (medical, legal, financial)
+- ❌ Generating harmful, misleading, or malicious content
+- ❌ Surveillance or privacy-invasive applications
+- ❌ Applications targeting children without appropriate safeguards
+- ❌ Automated decision-making in high-stakes scenarios
+- ❌ Impersonation or deception
+- ❌ Any illegal activities
+
+### Bias and Fairness
+
+- The model may reflect biases present in its training data
+- Users should be aware of potential biases in generated content
+- Additional safeguards may be necessary for production applications
+- Consider implementing content filtering and monitoring
+- Test thoroughly for your specific use case and user population
+
+### Environmental Impact
+
+- **Training Impact:** Base model training had significant computational cost
+- **Inference Impact:** Running this model requires substantial energy
+- **Quantization Benefit:** 6-bit quantization reduces energy vs FP16/FP8
+- **Recommendations:**
+  - Use appropriate quantization for your needs (don't over-provision)
+  - Consider energy-efficient hardware configurations
+  - Batch requests when possible to amortize loading costs
