Give your computer an AI brain.

AI-2 is a Linux distro for ordinary and older PCs, based on Artix Linux (runit). It detects your hardware, assigns a capability tier, tunes the system for it, measures what the machine can really do, and recommends AI models that genuinely fit, locally where possible, remotely by explicit choice.

The oldest validated machine is a 2011 laptop with 4 GB of RAM and no SSE4.1, running a 0.5B model locally. The installer, the setup wizard and the chat speak English, Spanish and German.

Getting started

Reference

  • Commands, every ai-2 subcommand explained.
  • Capability Tiers, the six tiers (Tiny, Light, Standard, Creator, Studio, Workstation) and how one is assigned.
  • AI Score and Benchmarks, what the 0-100 score measures and why it, not RAM, gates model recommendations.
  • Models, the catalog, pulling, verifying and removing models, and the embedding models ai-2 doc uses for your documents.
  • Knowledge Packs, offline collections your computer can search and answer from, the three that come with AI-2, and how to make your own. The community catalog, where every pack is listed with its download and where you share yours, is at https://github.com/ProWoos-Devs/ai2-knowledge.
  • Local API Server, ai-2 serve, an OpenAI-compatible API on your own machine.
