What is Lizard LLM?
Lizard is a hardware-aware local AI runtime for 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11. It profiles the machine, recommends compatible GGUF models, and runs inference locally through Lizard Native, Caterpillar, or an explicit compatibility fallback.
What is the difference between Lizard Native and Caterpillar?
Lizard Native is the resident Direct3D 12 GPU path. Caterpillar is a separate engine built around a pre-compiled compute-graph plan. Lizard selects the path for the current hardware and model.
Does Lizard require an internet connection?
Internet access is needed for sign-in, activation, model downloads, and update checks. Once a compatible model is installed, prompts, answers, and model weights used for inference remain on the device and the model can run offline.
How much does the local runner cost?
The native Lizard runner is activated with one USD 5 payment. It is not a subscription. Optional dashboard credits are separate and do not control the local runner.
