Apps that run Nex N2 Pro (397B-A17B)

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 10–20% faster than GGUF for a model with 17B 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.

Which apps can open a model depends on the files published for it: GGUF for llama.cpp-based apps, MLX for Apple’s engine, the original weights for vLLM and SGLang. Compare every app.

Memory needed

Weights plus KV cache and runtime overhead. Leave a little extra free for the operating system and other apps. Try another context length.

KV cache: hybrid: only the full-attention layers (1 in 4) keep a KV cache; the rest use linear attention.
