Qwythos 9B Claude Mythos 5 — Q4_K_M

Claude-style reasoning, vision and tool use in a compact 9B model built to run locally.

Qwythos is a Qwen3.5-9B reasoning model trained on Claude Mythos/Fable reasoning traces. It supports thinking, tool calling, image input and a context window of up to 1M tokens.

Best for

  • Reasoning, coding and research
  • Document and image understanding
  • Tool use and agentic workflows
  • Long-context experimentation

Model details

Quantization Q4_K_M
Download size 6.8 GB, including the vision projector
Context Up to 1M tokens
Input Text and images
Capabilities Thinking, tools and vision

Run

ollama run pdurlej/qwythos-9b-claude-mythos-5-1m:Q4_K_M

Recommended settings

  • Temperature: 0.6
  • Top P: 0.95
  • Top K: 20
  • Repeat penalty: 1.05

Start with a 16K context window and increase it only when needed. The full 1M-token context requires substantial memory and is not practical on entry-level MacBooks.

MacBook requirements

Usage Practical recommendation
Minimum Apple Silicon MacBook with 16GB unified memory; text-only use at 4K–16K context
Recommended MacBook Air or Pro with 24GB–32GB; vision, tools and 16K–64K context
Large-context experiments MacBook Pro with 48GB–128GB; actual limits depend on context and other running apps

Allow approximately 10GB of free storage. A MacBook Pro offers active cooling and higher sustained performance than a fanless MacBook Air.

Notes

Qwythos is a reasoning model and may use a significant portion of its output budget for thinking. Verify model output before using it in safety-critical workflows.
