Zero Point Intelligence Ltd — Getting Started
New to local AI? Start here.
Running AI on your own computer means no subscriptions, no data leaving your machine, no censorship, no limits. Here's how to get started in 5 minutes.
Step 1: What You Need
A computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux — any modern one works)Ollama — free software that runs AI models → Download here A MARTHA model — pick one from our repos below
That's it. No Python. No coding. No cloud accounts.
Step 2: Install Ollama
Go to
https://ollama.com and click Download. Install it like any normal app.
Step 3: Pick Your Model
Your Hardware Best Model VRAM Needed Download Size Phone / Raspberry Pi MARTHA-0.8B 1 GB ~500 MB Laptop / Old PC MARTHA-2B 2 GB ~1.5 GB Gaming PC MARTHA-4B 4 GB ~2.7 GB Beefy GPU (RTX 3080+) MARTHA-9B 8 GB ~5 GB
Not sure about your VRAM? Start with MARTHA-4B. It runs on almost anything with a GPU.
Step 4: Download and Run
Go to the model page and follow the Quick Start instructions. Each model has copy-paste commands for:
Windows (PowerShell)Mac/Linux (Terminal)
Step 5: Want a Pretty Chat Interface?
Install
Docker Desktop , then run:
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -v open-webui:/app/backend/data -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://host.docker.internal:11434 --name open-webui ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:mainOpen
http://localhost:3000 in your browser. It gives you a web chat interface but runs entirely on your machine.
What Makes MARTHA Different?
Every MARTHA model ships with two files:
The brain (.gguf) — handles text, code, reasoningThe eyes (mmproj-f16.gguf) — handles images, screenshots, photos
Most AI models on HuggingFace can only read text. MARTHA sees images too.
Jargon Buster
You'll See This It Means GGUF File format for AI models — like .mp4 for videos Q4, Q5, Q8 Compression levels — Q4 = small, Q8 = big but smarter mmproj The vision file — gives the model eyes Ollama Free app that runs AI locally VRAM GPU memory — more = bigger models Safetensors Raw model weights (for developers, not needed for basic use) LoRA A training technique — how we customise the model's personality Ghost pass Our method for creating unique model weights
