What can be downloaded

Noema 3.4 discovers and downloads compatible GGUF, MLX, ExecuTorch, and Core ML model packages. Apple Foundation Models are supplied by the operating system and appear when supported; they are not normal model downloads.

Read the model page before downloading

  • Compatibility and estimated RAM fit for the current device.
  • Quantization, file size, architecture, and context guidance.
  • Vision, tool-calling, reasoning, or audio capability badges.
  • Required projector, tokenizer, or other companion dependencies.
  • Publisher, source repository, license, and provenance notes.

From Explore to Stored

  1. Open Explore → Models and search or browse the catalog.
  2. Choose a model, then select a compatible file or quantization.
  3. Review fit guidance and dependencies before tapping Download.
  4. Monitor progress. Interrupted supported downloads can resume rather than restart from zero.
  5. Open Stored when the model is ready, adjust its settings, and load it.

Troubleshooting downloads

  • Free enough storage for the final file and temporary transfer data.
  • Keep the source license and gated-repository requirements in mind.
  • If a vision model loads without image support, check for its required projector.
  • If a file is marked incompatible, choose a supported architecture or runtime instead of forcing it.
  • Off-grid Mode blocks new model and dependency downloads.
