 A voxel pagoda garden, 1 shot prompt running on an RTX 5070 with Strata (IQ3_S, 128K context) ·
 full video (49 s) 
Strata runs **Qwen3.8-Flash-Next**, a 125-billion-parameter model that
normally needs a server, on a normal PC. It chats, writes code, reads pictures and works with your apps and coding
agents. Your chats and files stay on your PC.
**New here?** Check what you need, then install the app.
- **Runs on a gaming PC.** 32 GB of RAM and graphics memory together is enough to start.
- **Works with your tools.** It speaks the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, so Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode and other agents connect to it.
- **Reads pictures.** They are on by default.
- **Free.** MIT license, no account, no cloud.
- **Private.** No telemetry. What Strata downloads, when it uses the internet and how it checks downloads is in docs/SAFETY.md.
Version 0.2.1 · engine 0.1.46
## What you need
**You need at least 32 GB of RAM and graphics memory (VRAM) together.** On a Mac or a Ryzen AI Max, that is the unified
memory. More memory gives a bigger model or a faster one.
- A 32 GB PC with a 12-16 GB card runs the Coder.
- 64 GB of RAM runs every size.
| Your computer | Details |
| --- | --- |
| **NVIDIA** GeForce RTX 20, 30, 40, 50 series (12 GB or more) | Install the app or the Terminal. |
| **AMD** Radeon RX 6800 and newer, Radeon AI PRO R9700 (12 GB or more) | AMD cards |
| **Intel** Arc | Intel Arc, Intel engine |
| **Apple Silicon Mac** (M1 or newer, macOS 15 or newer) | Mac |
| **AMD Ryzen AI Max (Strix Halo)** and other unified-memory systems | Strix Halo |
| Older cards and processors | Older GPUs, Older CPUs |
Also needed:
- about 80 GB of free disk (an SSD makes the first start much faster)
- Windows 10 / 11, Linux or macOS
- a current graphics driver
Two or three cards of the same make can share a model (multi-GPU). Strata never splits a model across
NVIDIA and AMD cards. Full list: docs/INSTALL.md.
## Install
Pick one option. They all start the same engine and use the same models.
### Option A: the Strata app
The easiest way. The app has the engine inside: install it, pick a model, chat. Download the file for your system and
graphics card from the releases page. Not sure which one? See the
line under the table.
