Follow these instructions in order to run this app:
- 1. Downloaded this application in your PC.
- 2. Enter in our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 3. Upload this application in such filemanager.
- 4. Start any OS OnWorks online emulator from this website, but better Windows online emulator.
- 5. From the OnWorks Windows OS you have just started, goto our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 6. Download the application and install it.
- 7. Download Wine from your Linux distributions software repositories. Once installed, you can then double-click the app to run them with Wine. You can also try PlayOnLinux, a fancy interface over Wine that will help you install popular Windows programs and games.
Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.
SCREENSHOTS:
Z80-μLM
DESCRIPTION:
Z80-μLM is a retro-computing AI project that demonstrates a tiny language model (Z80-μLM) engineered to run on an 8-bit Z80 CPU by aggressively quantizing weights down to 2-bit precision. The repository provides a complete workflow where you train or fine-tune conversational models in Python, then export them into a format that can be executed on classic Z80 systems. A key deliverable is producing CP/M-compatible .COM binaries, enabling a genuinely vintage “chat with your computer” experience on real hardware or accurate emulators. The project sits at the intersection of machine learning and systems constraints, showing how model architecture, quantization, and inference code generation can be adapted to extreme memory and compute limits. It also functions as an educational reference for how to reduce inference to operations that fit an old-school instruction set and runtime environment.
Features
- 2-bit quantized language model designed for Z80-class hardware
- Python training workflow with export tooling for deployment
- Generates CP/M .COM binaries for vintage execution environments
- Enables interactive “chat” sessions on retro machines or emulators
- Focuses on ultra-small inference footprints and constrained compute
- Serves as a reference implementation for extreme quantization pipelines
