- Run the installer and launch the app.

Where the models come from
The one choice worth understanding. Seven routes:
- PandaOS Cloud, the default. Models from several providers, metered as usage, no keys to manage.
- Your API keys. Fourteen providers, plus any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. You choose the models and the billing.
- Local. Ollama, LM Studio, KoboldCpp and llama.cpp are found on their default ports.
- Free Mode. Cycles through the free tiers you already have with providers like Google, Groq and Mistral, moving on when one runs out.
- Claude, OpenAI Codex and OpenCode Go. Use a subscription you already pay for.
