Thinks and remembers

Thinks in the cloud — or on the machine

A cloud brain you pay for by use — or, on a powerful computer, one that works with no internet at all.

bia borrows its thinking from a cloud brain, with your own account. Right now the cheapest good option is DeepSeek V4.1: you pay only for what bia uses, and it works on any old computer. If you need it, a brain can also live right on the stick and work without any internet — on a powerful computer. Either way, its files, memory and accounts stay at home with you.

What it means for you

A cloud brain, cheap and smart

Give bia a key from a cloud AI service. DeepSeek V4.1 is the cheapest good choice today; OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok, Qwen and OpenRouter work too. You pay the provider only for what bia uses.

Switch whenever you like

Paste a new key into the chat and bia changes brains on the spot. Nothing else changes — same memory, same people, same personality.

Or a brain on the stick

As an option, a complete language model can travel with bia and run on the computer itself, with no internet and no account — handy for remote places. It needs serious hardware: a high-end graphics card, or unified memory, with at least 64 GB of video memory (VRAM). bia tunes itself to the graphics card and memory it finds.

Your life stays local

Even with a cloud brain, bia’s files, passwords, chats and memory live on its own disk — only the thinking is borrowed.

Ideas for using it

  • Run a family assistant on an old laptop for the price of a cheap cloud brain.
  • Try a stronger cloud model for a hard project, then switch back to the cheaper one.
  • A field station or a boat with no internet, on a powerful computer with the brain on the stick.

Good to know

Cloud services charge by use, through your own account with them; DeepSeek V4.1 is the cheapest good choice at the moment. Ordinary laptops, mini-PCs and old machines use the cloud brain. No-internet mode needs a high-end graphics card, or unified memory, with at least 64 GB of video memory (VRAM).
