## What Dolphin 2.6 Mixtral 8x7B is good at

[uncensored](/models/uncensored)

Dolphin 2.6 Mixtral 8x7b is an AI assistant based on the Mixtral 8x7b model, fine-tuned to be very good at coding and highly obedient to user requests. It is uncensored, meaning it will comply with any instruction without built-in ethical restrictions, so users need to add their own safety measures if needed. The model uses a ChatML prompt format and was trained with a mix of coding and empathy data to improve its helpfulness.

## Why run Dolphin 2.6 Mixtral 8x7B in Private LLM

Private LLM has run local AI on iPhone, iPad, and Mac since 2023, before Apple Intelligence existed. Inference happens on your device, so your Dolphin 2.6 Mixtral 8x7B conversations never reach a server. The part most apps gloss over is quantization, and that is exactly where on-device quality is won or lost. Most llama.cpp and MLX wrappers ship the same off-the-shelf 4-bit RTN weights. Private LLM ships GPTQ and OmniQuant quantization, tuned per model, and our 3-bit OmniQuant models match or beat those 4-bit RTN builds on the same Apple Silicon. Run the same model both ways and you feel it in the first reply. [See how our quantization works](/en/faq#Why-can-t-Private-LLM-load-models-directly-from-Hugging-Face).
