Overview

VeriBrain runs locally, so hardware impacts performance. Use the tiers below as a starting point and test with your own workloads.

Recommended tiers

Entry

• CPU: Modern 6-core processor
• RAM: 16 GB
• Use case: Small document sets, shorter sessions, light summarization

Standard

• CPU: 8-core or better
• RAM: 32 GB
• Use case: Larger document sets, multiple workspaces, 7B-class local models

Power

• CPU: 12-core or better
• RAM: 64 GB+
• Use case: Long-context sessions, larger libraries, frequent comparisons

Storage guidance

• Prefer SSD storage for faster indexing and retrieval.
• Keep at least 20 GB of free space for local workspaces and citations.

Online mode impact

Online mode can reduce local compute needs, but it still requires local redaction and citation tracking before sending any requests.
