SettingsFree memory or choose how the AI runs
Stop Straft AI to free memory, and choose whether it may use the graphics card.
Before you start
- Straft AI is downloaded and shows AI Ready.
Steps
Click Stop Offline AI (free memory).
Straft AI keeps its models in memory so answers start fast. Stopping releases that memory.
Read the message at the bottom.
It says Offline AI stopped. It starts again when you ask something. You do not need to start it yourself. Click Dismiss to close the message.
Under Graphics card, click Automatic or Off.
Automatic uses a graphics card only after it passes a short check, and the processor is always the fallback. Off always uses the processor. A line under the choice says where the AI runs now. The choice is decided before the first answer.
After clicking Off, read the message at the bottom: Straft AI will run on the processor.
Off is now the selected button. Choosing Automatic again says Straft AI will use a checked graphics card when there is one.
What you get
Memory is free again, and Straft AI runs where you chose.
Watch out for
- Choose Off if answers stall or the screen stutters while Straft AI works.
