On-device models
OIOXO comes with coding models that run right on your device. The first time you build, it looks at your computer and picks the strongest one it can actually run — no choices to make, and nothing quietly sent to the cloud.
The tiers
| Tier | Download | Best with | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | ~0.3 GB | Any device | General model, light coding help. Runs without a graphics card too (slower). |
| Light | ~1.1 GB | A capable graphics card | A dedicated coder — the sweet spot for most laptops. |
| Max | ~4.5 GB | A strong graphics card | The strongest model that runs on your device. A strong graphics card is recommended. |
How OIOXO picks
OIOXO checks your computer's graphics, memory, and processor, then recommends the matching tier. You'll see what it found as a small chip — e.g. “Your device: strong graphics · 12 GB RAM” — and a Recommended for your device badge on the matching model.
Download once, then it's saved
The model downloads one time, with a live progress bar, as the first step of your first build — then your browser keeps it and loads it from disk on every later visit. No re-downloads, nothing to install.
The on-device models punch above their size because OIOXO runs the code and fixes what fails. For the biggest apps, plug in your own key for a larger model — same careful approach.
What to expect
- The better your graphics, the faster it writes. Without a graphics card, Basic still works but is slow — your own key is usually the nicer experience there.
- The on-device models are great at focused work: starter projects, components, games, scripts, repairs, tidy-ups. Very large multi-file apps are best with your own key.
- Once the model is saved, writing code needs no internet at all.
