How to run it
I can set this up end to end: pick the model size, deploy it on your server and connect it to your systems. Quantization compresses a model so it takes less video memory and runs on more modest hardware. Answers change slightly, so quality is checked on your own examples.
Frequently asked questions
Can UI-TARS be used in a commercial project?
Yes. License: Apache 2.0 (UI-TARS-2 weights were not released). It allows commercial use, but it is still worth having a lawyer review the license before launch.
What hardware does UI-TARS need?
At minimum: Laptop or regular PC, up to 8 GB of VRAM — smaller versions. Without a GPU the model is not practical. You can calculate the exact VRAM for your model size and context in the hardware calculator.
Does UI-TARS support Russian?
No. The model card lists its languages and Russian is not among them.
Where can I download UI-TARS and what does it cost?
The UI-TARS weights are open and free to download. You only pay for the hardware it runs on and for the setup. Source links are at the bottom of this page.
