Hardware
- RAM: 8 GB or more is a common reference for long sessions (not a hard requirement for cloud inference)
- Disk: Hundreds of MB for sessions, profiles, and logs
- Network: Needed for LLM calls and activation/updates; charting can work offline
Dependencies
- Choose either Newton LLM (signed-in account + prepaid balance) or BYOK API access from at least one vendor.
- Some Linux distros need extra libraries for the Electron app (see Install & update).
Not supported
- Native mobile apps (desktop only today)
- Uploading your BYOK API keys to Mystilink cloud to run on your behalf (BYOK keys stay on desktop; Newton uses Mystilink’s officially hosted gateway path)
