## 🚀 Unsloth Start

[Unsloth Start](https://unsloth.ai/docs/integrations/unsloth-start) connects [Claude Code](https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/claude-code), [Codex](https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/codex) and other agents to local models with one command.

Start Unsloth, load a model, open your project folder, then run:

```bash
unsloth start claude
```

Replace `claude` with any supported agent:

| Agent | Command |
| --- | --- |
| Claude Code | `unsloth start claude` |
| OpenAI Codex | `unsloth start codex` |
| Hermes Agent | `unsloth start hermes` |
| OpenClaw | `unsloth start openclaw` |
| OpenCode | `unsloth start opencode` |

Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode can keep their current model and use Unsloth as a local
subagent:

```bash
unsloth start claude --as-subagent --model unsloth/model-GGUF:quant
```

## 📥 Install
Unsloth can be used in two ways: through **[Unsloth Studio](https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/studio/)**, the web UI, or through **Unsloth Core**, the code-based version. Each has different requirements.

### Unsloth Studio (web UI)
Unsloth Studio (Beta) works on **Windows, Linux, WSL** and **macOS**.

* **CPU:** Supported for Chat and Data Recipes currently
* **NVIDIA:** Training works on RTX 30/40/50, Blackwell, DGX Spark, Station and more
* **macOS:** Training, MLX and GGUF inference are ALL supported.
* **AMD:** Training, RL, chat and deployment work on Windows, WSL and Linux. [Read the AMD guide](https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/amd).
* **Vulkan:** GGUF inference is supported on [compatible GPUs, including Intel GPUs](https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth/pull/5819). Vulkan accelerates GGUF inference only; training still requires a supported PyTorch or MLX backend.
* **Multi-GPU:** Available now, with a major upgrade on the way

#### macOS, Linux, WSL:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | sh
```
Use the same command to update.

To force the Vulkan llama.cpp backend, set `UNSLOTH_FORCE_VULKAN=1` **before installing or updating**. The setting selects the llama.cpp binary bundle, so setting it only when launching Studio cannot replace an existing CPU bundle:

```bash
export UNSLOTH_FORCE_VULKAN=1
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | sh
```

#### Windows:
```powershell
irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
```
Use the same command to update.

To force the Vulkan llama.cpp backend, set the environment variable before running the installer or updater:

```powershell
$env:UNSLOTH_FORCE_VULKAN=1
irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
```

Re-running the current installer replaces a previously selected CPU bundle when the backend differs. A separate Vulkan SDK is not required; the GPU driver must provide a working Vulkan runtime.

#### Launch
```bash
unsloth studio -p 8888
```
For LAN or cloud access, add `-H 0.0.0.0` (raw port only; add `--cloudflare` for a public URL). By default, Unsloth is accessible only locally.

To reach Unsloth over HTTPS, use `unsloth studio --secure`. Unsloth stays bound to localhost and is reached only through a free Cloudflare tunnel, which publishes it at a public `https://*.trycloudflare.com` URL (it fails closed if the tunnel can't start, so the raw port is never exposed). This makes Unsloth reachable from the internet, so anyone with the link and API key can use it and run code: keep your API key private (see Remote access below).

#### Docker
Use our [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/unsloth/unsloth) ```unsloth/unsloth``` container. Run:
```bash
docker run -d -e JUPYTER_PASSWORD="mypassword" \
  -p 8888:8888 -p 8000:8000 -p 2222:22 \
  -v $(pwd)/work:/workspace/work \
  --gpus all \
  unsloth/unsloth
  ```

#### Developer, Nightly, Uninstall
To see developer, nightly and uninstallation etc. instructions, see [advanced installation](#-advanced-installation).

### Unsloth Core (code-based)
#### Linux, WSL:
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv venv unsloth_env --python 3.13
source unsloth_env/bin/activate
uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto
```
#### Windows:
```powershell
winget install -e --id Python.Python.3.13
winget install --id=astral-sh.uv  -e
uv venv unsloth_env --python 3.13
.\unsloth_env\Scripts\activate
uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto
```
For Windows, `pip install unsloth` works only if you have PyTorch installed. Read our [Windows Guide](https://unsloth.ai/docs/get-started/install/windows-installation).
You can use the same Docker image as Unsloth Studio.

#### AMD, Intel:
For RTX 50x, B200, 6000 GPUs: `uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto`. Read our guides for: [Blackwell](https://unsloth.ai/docs/blog/fine-tuning-llms-with-blackwell-rtx-50-series-and-unsloth) and [DGX Spark](https://unsloth.ai/docs/blog/fine-tuning-llms-with-nvidia-dgx-spark-and-unsloth). <br>
To install Unsloth on **AMD** and **Intel** GPUs, follow our [AMD Guide](https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/amd) and [Intel Guide](https://unsloth.ai/docs/get-started/install/intel).

## 📥 Advanced Installation
The below advanced instructions are for Unsloth Studio. For Unsloth Core advanced installation, [view our docs](https://unsloth.ai/docs/get-started/install/pip-install#advanced-pip-installation).
#### Developer / Nightly / Experimental installs: macOS, Linux, WSL:
The developer install builds from the `main` branch, which is the latest (nightly) source.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth
cd unsloth
./install.sh --local
unsloth studio -p 8888
```
To install into an isolated location (its own virtual env, `auth/`, `studio.db`, cache and llama.cpp build), set `UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME` and pass it again at launch:
```bash
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME="$PWD/.studio" ./install.sh --local
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME="$PWD/.studio" unsloth studio -p 8888
```
Then to update :
```bash
cd unsloth && git pull
./install.sh --local
unsloth studio -p 8888
```

#### Developer / Nightly / Experimental installs: Windows PowerShell:
The developer install builds from the `main` branch, which is the latest (nightly) source.
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git
cd unsloth
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
.\install.ps1 --local
unsloth studio -p 8888
```
To install into an isolated location (its own virtual env, `auth/`, `studio.db`, cache and llama.cpp build), set `UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME` and pass it again at launch:
```powershell
$env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME="$PWD\.studio"; .\install.ps1 --local
$env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME="$PWD\.studio"; unsloth studio -p 8888
```
Then to update :
```powershell
cd unsloth; git pull
.\install.ps1 --local
unsloth studio -p 8888
```

#### Remote access: `--secure` (HTTPS tunnel) vs raw port
By default `unsloth studio` binds to `127.0.0.1` (this machine only). To reach it from another device, pick one of:

- `--secure` (recommended): serve **only** through a free Cloudflare HTTPS link. Unsloth stays bound to localhost and the tunnel provides the public URL; it fails closed (does not start) if the tunnel can't come up, so the raw port is never exposed.
```bash
unsloth studio --secure -p 8888
```
- `-H 0.0.0.0`: bind the raw port on all network interfaces, reachable from anywhere on the network (subject to your firewall). It does not create a public internet URL; add `--cloudflare` to also publish an internet-reachable `https://*.trycloudflare.com` link even behind a firewall. Only use this on a network you trust.
```bash
unsloth studio -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8888
```
The Cloudflare tunnel is **off by default**: `-H 0.0.0.0` exposes the raw port only, not a public internet URL. Pair the wildcard bind with `--cloudflare` (`unsloth studio -H 0.0.0.0 --cloudflare`) to also publish a public `https://*.trycloudflare.com` link, or prefer `--secure` (above), which keeps the raw port private. `--cloudflare` has no effect on a loopback bind.

On a wildcard bind Unsloth works out the address to share by asking `ifconfig.me` for the public IP, then asks `check-host.net` whether that port is reachable so it can tell you if a firewall is in the way. Both contact a third party. Set `UNSLOTH_STUDIO_DISABLE_PUBLIC_CHECK=1` to skip them; the banner then shows the LAN address and no reachability line.

The first time Unsloth is published on a public URL (`--secure` or `--cloudflare`) with the auto-generated admin password still in place, it asks for a new admin password in the terminal (masked input with confirmation) before the public link goes up. Without an attached terminal it warns instead and keeps the bootstrap deadline: Unsloth shuts down after `UNSLOTH_STUDIO_BOOTSTRAP_TIMEOUT` (default 1 hour) unless the password is changed in the web UI.

For headless setups that cannot answer that prompt, set the initial admin password non-interactively with `--password` (only takes effect when no password is set yet; if one already exists it is a hard error, so rotate later with `unsloth studio reset-password`):

```bash
unsloth studio --secure --password 'your-strong-password'        # visible in `ps`/history
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_PASSWORD='your-strong-password' unsloth studio --secure   # via env var
printf '%s\n' 'your-strong-password' | unsloth studio --secure --password -   # via stdin
```

A literal `--password VALUE` is visible in the process list and shell history, so prefer the `UNSLOTH_STUDIO_PASSWORD` env var or `--password -` (stdin) for automation. This applies to any launch (public or a headless `-H 0.0.0.0` bind), and the password is set in the parent before the server binds, so it never reaches a re-executed child process.

Server-side tools (web search, Python and terminal code execution) run as your user and are on by default. Anyone who can reach the server with the API key can run code on this machine, so keep your API key private and pass `--disable-tools` when exposing Unsloth.

#### Advanced launch options
Installer options can be passed as environment variables. On macOS, Linux and WSL place the variable after the pipe so the shell passes it to `sh`; on Windows set it with `$env:` before piping to `iex`.

Skip PyTorch (GGUF-only mode):
```bash
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH=1 sh
```
```powershell
$env:UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH=1; irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
```

Skip the post-install prompt that starts Unsloth (useful for automated installs):
```bash
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UNSLOTH_SKIP_AUTOSTART=1 sh
```
```powershell
$env:UNSLOTH_SKIP_AUTOSTART=1; irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
```

Pin the Python version:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UNSLOTH_PYTHON=3.12 sh
```
```powershell
$env:UNSLOTH_PYTHON='3.12'; irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
```

Install to a custom location with `UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME`:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=/abs/path sh
```
```powershell
$env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME='C:\path'; irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
```

On macOS, the installer defaults to the system certificate store (`UV_SYSTEM_CERTS=1`) so uv trusts the CAs in your Keychain, needed behind TLS-inspecting proxies (Cisco Umbrella, Zscaler, etc.). Opt out with:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UV_SYSTEM_CERTS=0 sh
```

Point the frontend build at a corporate npm mirror/proxy with `UNSLOTH_NPM_REGISTRY` (for the developer install behind a firewall that blocks `registry.npmjs.org`):
```bash
UNSLOTH_NPM_REGISTRY=https://artifactory.example.com/api/npm/npm/ ./install.sh --local
```
```powershell
$env:UNSLOTH_NPM_REGISTRY='https://artifactory.example.com/api/npm/npm/'; .\install.ps1 --local
```
It is threaded as `--registry` into the Unsloth frontend `npm`/`bun` installs; the supply-chain locks (7-day `min-release-age`, exact version pins) stay in force.

Cap Unsloth's native CPU thread pools on high-core hosts: `UNSLOTH_CPU_THREADS=8 unsloth studio -p 8888`.

#### Uninstall
The recommended way to fully remove Unsloth Studio is the matching uninstall script for your OS. It stops any running servers, removes the install dir, the launcher data dir, the desktop shortcut, and any platform-specific entries (macOS `.app` bundle + Launch Services on Mac; Start Menu, `HKCU\Software\Unsloth` registry key and user `PATH` entries on Windows):

* ​ **MacOS, WSL, Linux:** `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unslothai/unsloth/main/scripts/uninstall.sh | sh`
* ​ **Windows (PowerShell):** `irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unslothai/unsloth/main/scripts/uninstall.ps1 | iex`

If you only want to drop the install dir and keep the launcher/shortcut for a later reinstall, you can instead run `rm -rf ~/.unsloth/studio` (Mac/Linux/WSL) or `Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$HOME\.unsloth\studio"` (Windows). The model cache at `~/.cache/huggingface` is not touched by any of these.

For more info, [see our docs](https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/studio/install#uninstall).

#### Deleting model files

You can delete old model files either from the bin icon in model search or by removing the relevant cached model folder from the default Hugging Face cache directory. By default, HF uses:

* ​ **MacOS, Linux, WSL:** `~/.cache/huggingface/hub/`
* ​ **Windows:** `%USERPROFILE%\.cache\huggingface\hub\`
