Remote script. The installer downloads and runs install.sh from the latest release; read it first if you prefer.
Who it is forA developer with a gaming GPU who wants a capable local model for private work.
The problemBig open models usually need manual quantization choices, engine builds and more memory than you have.
The outcomeA local model running on your own GPU, picked to fit your memory, with live model and hardware stats.
What you need first
- Windows, Linux or macOS on supported hardware (NVIDIA RTX 20 to 50, recent AMD Radeon, Intel Arc on Linux, Apple Silicon M1 or newer)
- Plenty of free disk space; DeepSeekV4.1 sets need about 245 to 280 GB
- The model packs download on first run
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 launchand 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
Prompt for your agent
Install Niko1221/Strata on this machine, check my GPU and RAM, recommend a model pack from the README's Models section that fits, then run strata launch and confirm the model answers a test prompt.
Caveat. Model downloads are large and speed depends heavily on your GPU and RAM; check the hardware table before choosing.
