No software installations are necessary to use the TBT5-AI unit itself, as the necessary drivers should already be installed or built-in to Windows.

When a graphics processing unit (GPU) is installed within the TBT5-AI, an appropriate driver must be installed within Windows in order for the GPU to function. Please consult the manufacturer of your GPU in order to determine the appropriate driver.

In order to perform AI inference tasks, additional software such as Ollama, LM Studio, Microsoft Foundry Local, or Nvidia NIM (requires Nvidia GPU) must be installed on the Windows host computer. Please consult the application vendor for assistance in using their software.
