Common Issues

⚠️ AVX2 Support Required

v0studio requires a processor with AVX2 support. Most processors from 2013 onwards include this.

Check your processor specifications if the application fails to start.

🚫 Insufficient Memory

Large models require significant RAM. Consider using smaller models or adding more memory.

Monitor system memory usage and close unnecessary applications.
