Strata

State of the art model for everyone.

Frontier model on the PC you already own. Sponsor Strata and make it faster on yours.

GitHub stars Latest release MIT license

Strata is a free, MIT-licensed engine that runs Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, DeepSeek V4.1-Flash and Qwen3.6 on everyday hardware: a 12 GB gaming GPU plus system RAM, AMD Radeon, Intel Arc, Apple Silicon or a Strix Halo machine. No cloud, no account, no per-token bill. It plugs straight into Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode and anything that speaks the OpenAI or Anthropic API.

  • ⚡ 100+ tokens/s from Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on one RTX 5070 12 GB with 64 GB RAM, and 84 tokens/s at a 128K context
  • 🧠 DeepSeek V4.1-Flash, a 257 GB model, on an RTX 3060 at 15-20 tokens/s, and 100+ tokens/s on four Radeon AI PRO R9700s
  • ⭐ 34,800+ stars, 3,700+ forks, 4,500+ commits, docs in 8 languages

🔬 The goal: Strata Lab

A mini datacenter at home, filled with the hardware people own.

  • Every popular GPU and PC. - NVIDIA RTX 30, 40 and 50 series at every common VRAM size, AMD Radeon RX 7000 and 9000, Intel Arc, Apple Silicon Macs, Strix Halo and DGX Spark. Older cards like P100, Volta, RX 6000 series and more.

  • Strata's own quants. - Built and calibrated in-house to get closer to the full model at the same size. The aim is coding, tool calls and agent work near full-precision quality, with no looping.

The goal is to bring Faster prompt processing and more throughput. with parallel requests tuned per card. The first speed target: around of mine is 850 tokens/s for a single Qwen3.8-Flash-Next request on one Radeon AI PRO R9700 with 64 GB RAM.

🏠 Running LLM's at home?

Strata can only get faster on a GPU it has actually run on. Your sponsorship buys the cards people really own and puts them in the Strata Lab, so the next release gets tuned for yours. No subscription, no rate limits, and nothing you type leaves your PC.

🏢 Running Strata at work?

Privacy is number one concern of businesses. Code, documents and customer data stay on your network, and the cost is hardware you buy once, not a per-token bill that grows with every engineer you add. Need an invoice, a contract, a bigger rollout or on-site setup? Email [email protected].

🤝 Hardware makers and GPU clouds

Lend or donate hardware or GPU credits, and it joins the Lab: Strata gets tuned for it, benchmarked on every release and listed as supported. Email [email protected].

20 sponsors have funded Niko1221’s work.

@Niko1221

Build the Strata Lab: a mini datacenter at home with every popular GPU, Mac and AI PC, plus a node for in-house quantization. With that every release gets faster, smarter and more optimized on the hardware you own.
