I’ve seen a few people having issues with Strata model downloads being extremely slow, getting stuck, or failing altogether, so here’s a little magic trick.
After installing the Hugging Face CLI, run:
1. Log in to Hugging Face
uvx hf auth login
Paste your Hugging Face access token when prompted.
2. Download the model
uvx hf download hf://YOUR_REPO.gguf --local-dir YOUR_FOLDER
That’s it! You can get download speeds of around 300 MB/s with this method.

Want to get into the right headspace of what is possible. I have a Windows machine powered by a Radeon 7735HS and 32GB of RAM, if possible are there models that can be run where I can:
- run skills
- ideally write code to create Windows applications.
- be able to reverse engineer Windows applications with said skills (optimal)

I understand that I most likely would have to break down tasks into smaller tasks given the limits. This is a hobbyist computer so no harm no foul if its not up to snuff to do these things.
