A clear first start
Download. Install. Let Tom get ready.
02 / Choose your package
One complete EXE
The full installer includes Tom, its default E2B model, vision support and CPU/Vulkan engines. The small network installer downloads those pinned components from their original vendors. Both install the same Tom.
03 / Make yourself at home
Tell Tom your name
Choose a folder and what Tom should call you. Tom displays its startup checks and loads the model before enabling chat. Updating? Quit Tom and its tray helper, then choose the existing folder. Do not uninstall first.
Verify your download
The full installer is served as the original EXE. Download the checksums to compare it with a local SHA-256 check.

This beta does not have a publisher signature. Verify the source and checksum before deciding whether to run it. Follow your organization’s security policy. If startup reports a missing Windows runtime, install the Microsoft prerequisite above and retry. Open the user guide for setup and recovery help.
Small model. Visible work.

Activity with a face
Nine ASCII states show reading, working, waiting and attention. Expand actions to inspect what happened.
Context you can see
The context ring shows usage and compactions. Built-in help explains when details may be lost.
Files where they belong
Read and create local files. Open the result directly or show its folder. Your preferred name follows you into the chat.
Useful, with limits.
Start with focused tasks: summarize a file, transform a small table, make a checklist or inspect a simple image. Tom can run programs and work with supported browser pages, with visible actions and review controls.
Browsing, large coding jobs and long tasks remain uneven. Local processing does not make answers automatically correct. Check important work.
The results are public.
Our small release tests completed 5 of 6 focused local tasks correctly. 2 of 5 broader attempted tasks passed. Browsing and a webpage task failed; a simple image check passed.

What do these counters measure?
Both counters are running totals. Downloads combine installer editions and releases: hosted full EXEs count after a complete server-side transfer, and GitHub-hosted installers use GitHub’s asset counts. These are not installs or unique people. Separate resumed ranges cannot be matched to a completed download without visitor identifiers and are not added. Clone history stays stored after GitHub’s 14-day reporting window moves on; tracking starts with the history GitHub makes available. Earlier unavailable history cannot be recovered. View the public statistics.
Privacy
The download counter stores aggregate counts only; it does not store visitor IP addresses, cookies or device identifiers. Cloudflare and GitHub process requests under their own privacy policies. Tom’s model runs locally. Browsing, search, downloads and update checks use the internet; local does not mean every feature is offline.
