- Complete modern UI redesign - Adds support for Qwen3.5 0.8B, LFM2.5 230M,350M, SmolLM2 360M, Gemma 3 270M. - Adds Q7,Q6,Q5,Q3,Q1 quantization formats with a easy to use precision slider - And more!
The new UI includes: - New 1024Γ768 High Quality interface. - Photographic QOI background. - Transparent BananaMind, CPU, cube, mouse, and Send icons. - Proper bitmap cursor. - Rounded translucent panels and cards. - Modern model-loading progress window. - Redesigned inference screen with response and prompt panels. - Localized redraws for the cursor, clicks, loading progress, and precision slider.
Notice: Qwen3.5 0.8B currently generates garbled text, it will be fixed tomorrow.
We're delaying BananaMind 2.1! When BananaMind 2.1 Lite was almost done, we benchmarked it and the results we're worse than BananaMind 2 Mini.
We're going to spend alot more time in research on tiny models and then scaling up our techniques to the actual BananaMind 2.1 models!
We're also announcing these new models: BananaMind 2.1 Coder: A 149M instruction tuned coder model trained on 75B tokens + 10B tokens of stack-v3-train. BananaMind 2.1 Pico: A 1M parameter model trained on 22B tokens of data. We also may release BananaMind 2.1 Large with around 100M parameters depending on how much compute we have.
Weβre excited to release BananaMind OS 2.0, a major update to our portable operating system for running AI models locally.
BananaMind OS runs directly from an ISO without Linux, installation, a cloud connection, or modifying your disks.
The new Version 2.0 adds a graphical interface with mouse support, a model library, multi-turn chat, configurable KV cache, maximum tokens and temperature controls, automatic x87/SSE/SSE2 CPU detection, BIOS support, native UEFI support and a dedicated 486 compatibility mode.
Model weights are not loaded during GRUB or startup. Only the model catalog is read, and the selected model is loaded after BananaMind OS starts.
We now have a new .litemodel format supports multiple architectures, including BananaMind models, SmolLM, SmolLM2, GPT-X2.5, min-spark 1.1 and Rose-Mini. Check it out at: https://github.com/BananaMind/BananaMindOS
You can build an ISO yourself using the .sh or .bat script. Select the models and quantizations you want, and the builder will download, quantize and package them locally. Prebuilt 10MB, 25MB, 100MB and 250MB model presets are available here: https://github.com/BananaMind/BananaMindOS/releases/tag/v2.0.0 Use the regular preset ISOs for BIOS and GRUB, including the 486 compatibility mode.
Warning: Im currently uploading the ISOs, all up to 100MB is present, 250MB is getting uploaded Use the files ending in -uefi.iso for the native x86-64 UEFI graphical frontend and improved firmware mouse support.
The preset name describes the RAM class of the individual included models. Models remain on the ISO until selected, so including multiple models does not load all of them into RAM. 486DX with an x87 FPU, Pentium and newer x86 processors are supported. Modern x86-64 computers are supported through UEFI. It currently doesent support processors without an FPU.
Comment if you want me to run it on 0.04MHz (pls dont)
