From 83bcbb803c043c75f37b4530879fefca00f77f79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robby Manihani Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 17:04:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] docs: align quickstart model with CPU-friendly recommendation (qwen3.5:4b) (#287) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Reported via twitter (issue #269): the macOS install guide and other docs recommend a 4B model on CPU but the README and quickstart pull / ask a much larger model (qwen3:8b) — confusing and slow for first-time CPU-only users. Switch the README quickstart and the docs/getting-started/quickstart.md 'Chat with Any Model' tile to qwen3.5:4b, with an inline note that GPU users can scale up to qwen3.5:9b or larger. This matches the existing chat-simple preset and the macOS guide's CPU recommendation.
