How to run Ajax locally (guide skeleton)

Ajax is not released - Not released - so this page is a skeleton. It separates what you can actually do today from the steps that only exist once the weights ship. Nothing below invents commands we can't verify.

Path 1: Inside Odysseus (the intended way)

Ajax is "trained for Odysseus to be your always on agent" - Odysseus is the workspace that gives the model tools: search, browsing, email, calendar, notes. If you want the full always-on agent experience, this is the path.

What works today:

• Clone the workspace: git clone https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus
• Read the docs at odysseus-dev.github.io/odysseus
• The repo ships a docker/ folder plus mcp_servers/, integrations/ and config/searxng/ - the services that make Odysseus an agent harness rather than a chat UI. Odysseus already runs other local models, so you can set the whole thing up now.

Filled in on release day:

• Pulling the Ajax weights from the official link and placing them where Odysseus expects local models
• Any Ajax-specific config Odysseus adds for the model
• Verified setup steps once we can test them

Path 2: Ollama

If the release includes a format Ollama can load (GGUF is the usual route for 9B models), running Ajax should be a one-liner - but no official Ollama model tag exists and we won't guess one. What we can say today:

• Install Ollama from ollama.com as usual.
• If a GGUF ships without an Ollama tag, the generic path is a Modelfile with FROM ./file.gguf then ollama create - standard Ollama usage, not Ajax-specific.

Release-day steps (exact tag/Modelfile, quant choice) go here once files exist.

Path 3: LM Studio

LM Studio loads GGUF files through a GUI, which is the friendliest option if you'd rather not touch a terminal. Today: install LM Studio and confirm your machine matches the requirements estimates. On release day this section will note which quant fits which GPU and any chat-template quirks the fine-tune introduces.

Honest summary

The only step that exists right now is setting up Odysseus - everything model-side waits on the official page flipping from "Coming soon" to actual files. Subscribe below and this page becomes a real guide the day that happens.
