Overview#

The public developer entry point is Altifigence CLI Preview for Linux x86_64. The 0.1.9 interface includes native XLS/CUDA and DDS operations, a verified installation bootstrap, and explicitly scoped Cloud/service connections. Check the download page for release availability before following versioned examples.

  2. Verify the Ed25519 signatures and pinned key before extracting or executing the download.

  3. Complete Linux installation using the embedded bootstrap.

  4. Check the installed capabilities and use leaf command help.

  5. Follow CLI First Success for CPU XLS execution and the separate offline preflight receipt.

Continue with CLI for installation and limitations, and Command Reference for discovery.
