Keep going without a live connection.
Use the local model, knowledge, and context saved on NOMAD Pocket when getting online is difficult. New downloads and updates still need internet access.
NOMAD Pocket portable offline AI product
WHY NOMAD
AI that goes with you.
Even off the grid.
When the connection is unreliable, work still needs to get done. NOMAD Pocket is a physical USB AI product in development, designed to keep your local model, knowledge files, and saved workspace together. Plug it into another compatible Windows or Linux PC and your saved chats, notes, and memory come with you.
Check your PC firstYour memory moves with you.
The planned USB workspace keeps your saved chats, notes, and reusable memory alongside models and reference files. Move NOMAD Pocket to another compatible PC and pick up where you saved your work.
Start with the computer you already own.
Whichever compatible PC you plug into supplies the processing power; your saved workspace stays on NOMAD Pocket. Our checker helps you explore public models based on that PC's specs.
BUILT FOR INDONESIA
Good work should keep moving, even when the signal stops.
Indonesia stretches across more than 17,000 islands. For people on ships and offshore sites, teachers in remote schools, and teams working where connectivity is limited or disrupted, getting online is not always an option. We are building NOMAD Pocket to help them research, draft, and organize everyday work locally, without waiting for a connection. The USB is designed to carry local AI models, preloaded knowledge, and the workspace you save; your Windows or Linux PC supplies the processing power.

MODEL COMPATIBILITY CHECKER
Which local AI model
fits your PC?
Select your exact Intel or AMD processor. Add a dedicated GPU model if you have one, then enter RAM, VRAM and free storage. We check popular open-licensed GGUF text models on Hugging Face and show up to five capacity estimates.
The CPU/GPU catalogue is limited and checked locally. Unlisted CPUs are not assessed; unlisted GPUs are treated as CPU-only. We fetch model listings and file sizes, never send your PC specs to Hugging Face.
HUGGING FACE · LIVE MODEL DATA
Models for your PC
These are memory and file-size estimates, not hardware certification, speed estimates or a promise about the NOMAD Pocket runtime. CPU instruction sets and GPU backend candidates come from a limited local list; drivers, context length, license terms, USB transfer speed and exact file/runtime support need checking before use. Popularity uses repository downloads across the first 150 popular GGUF listings.

Questions before you
go offline.
NOMAD Pocket is still in development. Here's what the planned USB workspace and the model checker can tell you today.
Can I use NOMAD Pocket without internet?
That is what we are building it for: local AI work with the model and knowledge files already on the USB. A connection is still needed to download new models or updates. The website's Hugging Face model checker also needs internet to fetch current listings.
Is the USB a computer on its own?
No. NOMAD Pocket is a planned physical USB product that carries the local workspace. A compatible Windows or Linux PC supplies the CPU, RAM, and optional GPU used to run a model.
Will my saved memory follow me to another PC?
That is the goal: keep the chats, notes, and reusable memory you save on NOMAD Pocket, along with its models and knowledge files. Plug the USB into another compatible Windows or Linux PC to continue from the same saved workspace. The new PC supplies the processing power. Final saving and backup details will be confirmed before launch.
Do I need a dedicated GPU?
Not always. Smaller quantized models may run on a CPU when there is enough system RAM, although speed depends on the PC and the final runtime. A supported GPU with enough dedicated VRAM may help; the checker shows capacity estimates for both paths.
How do I find a model that fits my PC?
Select your exact CPU, add your dedicated GPU and VRAM if you have one, then enter RAM and free storage. The checker looks at file sizes for popular public GGUF text models on Hugging Face. Its suggestions are estimates, not performance benchmarks or a guarantee that a model is included with NOMAD Pocket.
What if my CPU or GPU is not listed?
We will not guess about an unlisted CPU. Send its exact model to nomadpocketai@gmail.com for review. If a GPU is not in the checker catalogue, its VRAM is ignored and only CPU estimates are shown.
Can offline AI search the live web or know today's news?
No live web access means no live search or automatic news updates. Answers can use the local model and available knowledge files; current information requires a connection and updated files.
Is NOMAD Pocket available to buy?
Not yet. NOMAD Pocket is in development, and final hardware details, included files, and availability will be shared before launch. Follow @nomad.pocket on TikTok for updates.
