Run the Xing4.0 AI model on your own computer, no server

Xing4.0 is an agentic AI model: it plans its own steps and uses tools. It used to run only on a server — now you can run it locally.

It's an AI agent — a model that decides its own steps and uses tools to get tasks done. It was built by China Telecom, a major Chinese phone carrier, not an AI lab.

When it helps

Good for local experiments and simple repetitive tasks without needing a server. For serious agentic coding work, stick with Opus or Fable in Claude Code — no Chinese model has matched them yet. The benchmark numbers come from the maker itself and aren't independently verified, so treat them with skepticism.

Pros

  • Fast: only 4 of its 29 billion parameters run per answer
  • Runs on a regular computer — no server needed
  • Trained without any Nvidia GPUs, only on Huawei chips
  • Context window up to 512,000 tokens of text

Cons

  • Benchmarks are self-reported by the maker, not independently verified
  • Weaker at serious coding than models like Opus and Fable

How to set it up — step by step

  1. 1Open your AI agent (Claude Code or similar) in your project folder
  2. 2Send the agent the text from the block below — it downloads and sets up the model
  3. 3Tell the agent how much memory your computer has (24 or 32 GB) so it picks the right file
  4. 4Check that the agent connected the model through Ollama or LM Studio
  5. 5Ask the agent to show you how to use the model in the terminal

Text for your agent

Copy this and send it to your agent — Claude Code, Codex, any of them:

Install the Xing4.0 model locally from this ready GGUF build: https://huggingface.co/Venastine-Research/Xing4.0-29B-A4B-GGUF - pick the version that fits my memory, set it up with Ollama or LM Studio, and show me how to work with it in the terminal.

You need a Mac or PC with at least 24 GB of memory - that fits the smallest version of the file (about 14 GB). 32 GB is safer - that fits the more accurate 19 GB version.
