Verified source status

LocalClaw verified a public model card for Phi-3.5 MoE Instruct on 2026-09-07, but no public GGUF file in that repository. The catalogue RAM and quantization fields are estimates, not a verified install path.

Only the public model card was verified; no public GGUF file was verified in that repository. Open the model card to confirm current artefacts and supported runtimes. LocalClaw does not claim a one-click LM Studio install.
