 "summary": "Install Strata, let it pick a model pack for your hardware and start chatting, with no account.",
 "who": "A developer with a gaming GPU who wants a capable local model for private work.",
 "problem": "Big open models usually need manual quantization choices, engine builds and more memory than you have.",
 "outcome": "A local model running on your own GPU, picked to fit your memory, with live model and hardware stats.",
 "steps": [
  "On Linux or Mac run `curl -fsSL https://github.com/Niko1221/Strata/releases/latest/download/install.sh -o install.sh && sh install.sh`",
  "On Windows run the PowerShell installer from the README, then open a new terminal",
  "Run `strata launch` and follow the prompts to download and start a model",
  "Check the Models section and docs to choose a pack that fits your memory",
  "Prefer a window? Use the desktop app installer instead"
