+**You do not need a GPU for any of these.** Ollama runs on CPU by default. If your machine has a compatible GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, or Apple Silicon), Ollama will detect and use it automatically for faster responses. If not, the model runs on CPU — responses will be a bit slower, but the quality is identical.

-### Sessions
-
-Sessions maintain separate conversation histories, which is useful when working across different machines or projects at once:
-
-```bash
-daemoniq --session server "nginx won't start after the last upgrade"
-daemoniq --session laptop "bluetooth keeps disconnecting"
-daemoniq sessions
