How do I get the built-in AI model?
Open the panel's Settings and press the download button beside the model that suits your computer. It is downloaded once and then works offline.
Updated
The built-in model runs on your computer: free, private, and it works offline. It is downloaded once, after the install rather than during it.
Downloading it
Choosing the built-in model during install records the choice; the model itself arrives afterwards, with a progress bar. If you put the choice off, open the panel’s Settings: it offers the model that suits your computer, with a download button.
The model list in Settings also offers every other built-in model. The best fit for your computer is marked “recommended”. Models too big for your computer’s memory or free disk are greyed out, with the reason shown when you pick one.
What it needs
- A Mac with Apple Silicon, or a 64-bit Windows PC. On Windows it uses your graphics card where it can, and runs faster with one.
- Free disk space for the model, on top of the about 2 GB Mixroadie needs.
On an Intel Mac the built-in model can’t run. Use LM Studio, Ollama or a cloud AI instead. See Which AI model should I choose?
