Running a local model doesn't have to be difficult. Start with a compatibility check, then use the starter pack or Tinbot tools when you know what you have.

Start here

Pick the path that matches the question.

We split the tools so people can get a clean answer: local model fit is one thing; Tinbot/TLIP hardware usefulness is another; setup docs come after the device check.

01

Can my device run local AI?

Use the Local Model Checker for RAM, GPU, OS, model-size, and runner recommendations.

Local Model Compatibility Checker 02

My computer can run it. Now what?

Use the Starter Pack for runner links, first-run setup, model tiers, and GitHub docs.

Open Local Starter Pack 03

Can this device help TLIP or Tinbot?

Use the Tinbot Device Checker for donated hardware, Raspberry Pis, phones, sensors, and repair/swap roles.

Everything we have ready to use.

These are the public-facing tools and links we have ready now. The next community docs will focus on memory imports, local knowledge packs, fine-tuning safety, agent setup, and shared how-to guides.

Local Model Compatibility Checker Enter computer specs and a target model size to estimate local model fit, limits, and the best runner path. Local Starter Pack Run a local model, pick a runner, compare model families, and follow the first setup path. Tinbot Device Checker Check laptops, Raspberry Pis, phones, breadboard kits, and rescued hardware for TLIP/Tinbot roles. Hardware registry coming soon. Community Projects Coming soon: a registry of projects built with and for the community. For now, share projects in Discord. GitHub Repos Public TLIP repositories, starter packs, templates, and project documentation. Infographics Visual explainers for running local AI, model access, and TLIP beginner concepts.
