 "what": "PolyStrata runs large AI models on your own Windows or Linux PC and serves them through a localhost OpenAI or Anthropic compatible API, so nothing leaves the machine.",
 "why": "",
 "language": "C++",
 "requirements": [
  "A Windows or Linux PC with an NVIDIA card, or an AMD card with 12 GB or more for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next",
  "Enough disk space for the model file you pick, from about 11 GB to 114 GB depending on the model",
  "Enough RAM for the model you pick, since large models such as GLM 5.3 Flash and DeepSeek V4 Flash keep most of their file in RAM",
  "A coding agent that can point at a custom API base, if you want to use one with the local server"
 ],
