System Requirements

For GenAI model compilation and deployment, use Model Compiler, provided with the Neat Development Environment. You do not need the full Neat Development Environment unless you are also building host or Neat Framework applications. Model Compiler needs to be installed on a machine that matches the following requirements.

Parameter	Description
Operating System	Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 LTS or Windows 11 or MacOS 12.0 or later.
Memory	128GB or more is recommended.
Storage	512GB available space preferred.

note

With 128GB machine, compilation can take several hours to complete depends on the type of model. 64GB may work for models that do not have vision capabilities.

Prerequisites

• Ensure that the latest sima-cli is installed in Model Compiler.
• Have access to the required SiMa.ai release assets for your SDK environment.
• Have a valid Hugging Face account to download open-source models.
• Some models, such as google/paligemma, require accepting a license agreement on Hugging Face. Make sure to review and accept the license before attempting to download these models.
• Authorize the CLI to access Hugging Face using an user access token and huggingface-cli. Note, installing sima-cli automatically installs huggingface-cli.
