YVEX overview

YVEX is the open source execution runtime used by YAI. It is also available independently as a command-line product under the MIT license. A YAI account or paid license is not required for standalone use.

Follow the model lifecycle

1. Acquire the supported source model or prepared GGUF representation.
2. Prepare and verify a runtime binding for the intended backend and machine.
3. Load, run and unload through the CLI.

A GGUF file is a model artifact, not a complete runtime installation. The binding and backend configuration matter alongside the file.

Choose a path

• Quickstart: the shortest supported CLI path.
• Model lifecycle: acquisition, preparation and execution.
• Prepared model catalog: exact files with recorded hardware-specific tests.
• Architecture: the runtime's internal boundaries.

Model family references

Qwen3.8 text and DeepSeek V4 Flash describe their own support and representation constraints. Do not infer compatibility for another family or machine from a successful run of one catalog entry.

Distribution

Downloads lists published packages. Until a package is listed for your platform, use the YVEX repository and its source-build instructions.
