Local coding setups we measured
We measured one setup on each of 3 machine classes. Each page lists the hardware, the pinned model, and the run results.
Measured machine setups
| Machine | Tested setup | Model | Download | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Silicon 64–128 GB | apple-silicon-64-128@1.5.2 | mlx-dspark/qwen3-8b-8bit | 9.7 GB | Read the measured setup |
| Linux x64 NVIDIA L4 16–64 GB | linux-x64-l4@1.2.2 | llamacpp/qwen3-8b | 5 GB | Read the measured setup |
| Linux x64 CPU 8–32 GB | linux-x64-cpu@1.2.2 | llamacpp/qwen3-1.7b | 1.1 GB | Read the measured setup |
A class with only a pending record is not listed. /setups carries every published setup, measured or not.
What runs today
An explicit setup runs on the OS its catalog entry declares, after that entry's RAM, VRAM, and driver checks. The no-arg bootstrap is narrower.
| System | What works | How |
|---|---|---|
| macOS, Apple silicon | No-arg auto bootstrap | oloop host start picks a qualified setup for the machine class. |
| Linux x64 | Explicit setup | oloop host start --setup <id>@<version>. No-arg bootstrap stays macOS-only. |
| Windows, native | No oloop setup | The native local AI stack (Windows ML, Foundry Local, Phi Silica) is explained in the Windows guide. |
| Windows, WSL2 | The CLI, using the Linux path | Installs the POSIX CLI; it is not a native host. |
The full rule is on /docs#compatibility.
Not measured yet
| Configuration | Status | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| 64 GB VRAM | Not measured | The catalog lists no setup at that VRAM size. |
| RTX 4090 | Not measured | No passing record for that card. |
| Mac with 32 GB | Not measured | The Apple page covers 64–128 GB; 32 GB is a different class. |
| Multi-GPU | Not measured | Every measured row uses one GPU. |
See /setups for the full catalog and its evidence.
Install
Install the CLI, then start a host with the setup for your machine class.

These guides cover choices the catalog cannot measure yet.
Questions
Why do only 3 machine classes have measured setups?
A page exists only when the catalog entry has a passing qualification record for that class. A pending or missing record stays a gap.
What does a machine page prove?
One pinned setup passed one probe on the stated hardware and date. It is not a security review or a quality score.
