AVX, short for Advanced Vector Extensions is an extension to the x86 instruction set that enhances the speed of floating-point operations, making it a requirement for running AI models. Intel CPUs made after Sandy Bridge, the 2011 CPU line, and AMD CPUs made after 2013. 2. While it may be possible to run on machines with less, 6GBs of ram is considered the minimum, and machines with less may earn fewer points. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
