An engineering checkpoint is not a Store release. Feature delivery and model access are determined by the installed package, entitlement and hardware readiness.
Powerful AI. For the People.
Your machine. Your work. Your build.
Start with FREE. Try a real project. Check your hardware before choosing a paid edition.
MAINELY CODE / PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
Choose the edition by availability, model fit and workflow.
Start with what you can use now. Buildroom FREE and LITE have official Microsoft Store listings. ADVANCED is a development direction under release qualification, so it should not be treated as an upgrade you can download today.
FREE: establish a useful baseline.
Try approved local models through 8B, project context and reviewed actions on a small real task. Your hardware still determines what is practical.
LITE: expand the approved model catalog.
Consider larger model choices, including 20B, when your hardware has the headroom. Check the current Store offer for the perpetual license.
ADVANCED: discuss heavier engineering.
Explore governed worker coordination and high-capacity model workflows as active development. Confirm qualification before planning an operational deployment.
Local use has hardware, storage and electricity costs even when an app is free. Optional connected services may have their own terms. The official download directory links directly to current listings.
