WSL should work seamlessly with Docker support. We have also provided a Windows binary for native Windows support. Would these options be sufficient for your use case?

I've Just discovered your software and i'm testing it out with your docker example but it's kinda slow with Docker and CPU only model that's why i was if WSL support would be better ?

Please refer https://tabby.tabbyml.com/docs/installation/windows/ for windows installation guide

For those interested on having tabby up and running on their windows, with WSL.

TL;DR;

Best way is to setup an Ubuntu Distro and follow Linux installation instructions.

I wrote an article with the details and some examples and tips --> A Fast and Private AI-Coding Assistant.

How-To-Guide in 3 simple steps:

1. Install Ubuntu (22.04 or 24.04, both worked for me)
2. Follow Linux installation instructions
3. [OPTIONAL] You should also install katana so that you can index developer documentation. (I am about to create a PR with documentation improvements regarding exactly this),

In addition, I have to say that I tried many Tabby flavors, and the best way to fully use my GPU is this approach. (Indeed I couldn't make it properly work on Windows and had a lot of difficulties with the container one... With this approach I totally own my On Device AI, which is what I was looking for when I first found Tabby ML.

IMHO this issue could be closed.
