🛠 Minimum System Requirements
LAEW currently runs on computers with Windows 10 or higher. Linux and macOS support
are planned for future releases. Performance depends on the AI models selected and the capabilities
of the computer.
Minimum: A computer within a 6th-generation Intel Core processor or newer —
running 64-bit Windows 10/11, with 32 GB RAM and SSD storage.
Recommended: 32 GB RAM, SSD storage, and an NVIDIA GPU with 8–12 GB of VRAM
or more. More VRAM provides greater flexibility when working with larger AI models.
Development Reference: LAEW was fully developed and tested on an
NVIDIA RTX 3060 with 12 GB of VRAM.
🖳 ⮫ Users with Older Machines: Machines with system configuration older than the above minimum system requirements
could work without GPU and VRAM. However, the response time and AI reply may be less generative, detailed, and accurate compared
to the recommended configuration.
⮞ First Ollama model download may take time depending on model size and connection speed.
