By default, Shatei uses “qwen3.5:9b-q4_k_m”. After testing various models, this is the one that yielded the best results in an 8GB memory environment.
However, you can change the “model”: “qwen3.5:9b-q4_k_m” section in "config.json" to use any model available on your Ollama instance.
If the model listed here is officially supported by Ollama and is not yet present in your environment, it will be automatically downloaded at startup.
Enjoy!
