Description

Thanks a lot for open sourcing this amazing library!
I was wondering whether you tried/are planning to prepare some larger models too, like Llama-3.1-70B/405B. As it seems, there is an actual chance to be able to run Llama-3.1-405B on a single Mac.
Also, would you mind opening up the discussions section?

Research direction

The issue mentions Llama-3.1-70B/405B support on a single Mac and asks to enable the Discussions section, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by checking the project's current supported models and repository settings; the work is done only when the requested model support or discussion availability has a clearly defined outcome.
