    快速开始现在完整覆盖安装检查、模型诊断、直接运行、服务启动和 OpenAI 兼容 API 请求。
  • The first Metal run downloads about 2.55 GiB. Download time depends on the Hugging Face network route; watch the progress output before treating it as hung.
    Metal 首次运行会下载约 2.55 GiB,耗时取决于本机到 Hugging Face 的网络链路。
  • Quick Start uses --disable-thinking for a short, direct first response. Omit it to retain the model template's default reasoning behavior.
