Apps that run Hunyuan Hy-Memory 30B-A3B

Our pick for each kind of computer, assuming the model fits in its memory. Pick your own GPU or device in the Model Finder for an exact answer.

Mac (Apple silicon)

LM Studio

Runs the MLX build, typically 35–90% faster than GGUF for a model with 3B active parameters on Apple silicon.

Also good:

Windows PC, NVIDIA GPU

LM Studio

Point-and-click: search, download and chat in one window.

Also good:

Windows PC, AMD Radeon

Lemonade

AMD’s own app: llama.cpp tuned for Radeon on Vulkan and ROCm.

Also good:

Linux, NVIDIA GPU

LM Studio

Point-and-click: search, download and chat in one window.

Also good:

Linux server, 80 GB+ GPUs

vLLM

The full model fits in GPU memory at 8-bit, so it can batch many requests: best for serving a team or an app.
