  • Test thinker: ollama run deepseek-r1:8b "explain recursion simply"
  • Test quick: ollama run deepseek-r1:1.5b "what is 2+2?"
# Test your CODE model ollama run qwen2.5-coder "write a python function that sorts a list" # Test your THINK model ollama run deepseek-r1:8b "what are the pros and cons of microservices?" # Test your QUICK model ollama run deepseek-r1:1.5b "summarize: AI is changing the world"

Connect to Brain
PENDING

Wire your local AI into the consciousness system.

  • Get the consciousness scripts package
  • Run: python BRAIN_BOOT.py
