Ruizhi Zhong ruizhi.zhong88@gmail.com Strata is an inference engine for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on consumer NVIDIA and AMD hardware, with an OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible API served on localhost and a terminal client that picks, verifies and starts the engine. The engine runs that one model family: its catalogue lists Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in several GSQ-RCO, Q2_0 and UD quantizations, and the terminal refuses other GGUF files, including other Qwen3.8 sizes. The engine is built for one GPU backend (CUDA or ROCm HIP) and installed as an engine component that the terminal verifies against a SHA-256 manifest at every start. Build the engine for NVIDIA GPUs with the CUDA toolkit Build the engine for AMD GPUs with the ROCm HIP toolchain Install the strata terminal and API server, which need the Python dependencies; without it only the engine component is installed Build the picture reader (strata-vision) from tools/vision, so a prompt can carry images; without it the engine answers text only Niko1221/Strata
