Pick your install
v1.0.0-rc.7 ships real Qwen-2.5-32B inference with the 25-probe Patent VII gauge-rotated adapter. Server-scored: the canonical classifier weights stay on the droplet — your machine holds only your R_device rotation and posts rotated readouts for canonical evaluation. A CUDA GPU with 24+ GB VRAM is required; first launch downloads the model (~20 GB) and installs the managed Python env.
Linux: how to launch the .AppImage after download
AppImages are portable Linux binaries — no installer needed. After download you just need to mark the file executable.
Easy (file manager):
- Open Files / Nautilus and navigate to your Downloads folder.
- Right-click
CYGNUS-Pro-1.0.0-rc.7-linux-x86_64.AppImage→ Properties → Permissions → tick Allow executing file as program. - Double-click the file. CYGNUS launches.
Power-user (terminal):
cd ~/Downloads chmod +x CYGNUS-Pro-1.0.0-rc.7-linux-x86_64.AppImage ./CYGNUS-Pro-1.0.0-rc.7-linux-x86_64.AppImage
First launch downloads the Qwen-2.5-32B model (~20 GB) and installs a managed Python environment under ~/.local/share/CYGNUS-Pro/. Allow 5–10 min on a fast connection. Activation token from your email is requested in the Onboarding wizard.
Verify your download (SHA-256)
Compute the SHA-256 of the file you downloaded and compare it byte-for-byte against the fingerprint below. If they match, the file is exactly what we built. If they don't — even by one character — discard it and redownload.

Three steps to first response
Launch & wait for the model
First boot loads Qwen-2.5-3B (~ 60 s on warm cache, ~ 90 s on cold). The status badge shows live progress. The 11 v6 probes finish loading next.
Activate (or stay in trial)
Settings → License → paste your activation key from the email we sent. Or skip — the trial gives you 7 days of full chat with the local probe-monitored model.
Send something to the model
Watch the 11 probes fire on the dashboard at ~ 10 Hz. Every response is QDKS-verdicted and recorded in the local audit log.
