Ways to use Darwin-4B-David in osFoundry
Connect with your own key (BYOK)
Open the key dialog and paste your FINAL-Bench API key. osFoundry discovers Darwin-4B-David automatically — assign it to a Maestro role (router, direct, orchestrator, or fallback) in the Pipeline tab and it is live in every chat. Your key, your provider account — no token markup.
Deploy a dedicated endpoint
Darwin-4B-David is open-weights — run it locally for free, or deploy a dedicated GPU endpoint in your workspace for reserved capacity with no rate limits.
Use it in a Room App
Room Apps declare AI features in their manifest, then call them with invokeAI:
import { invokeAI } from '@osfoundry/app-sdk'
// 'summarize' is an AI feature declared in your app manifest.
const result = await invokeAI('summarize', userText)
Call it from your own apps
Once a model is wired into your workspace you can host it as an API and reach it from your own services, scripts, or CI — outside osFoundry.
What hardware can run Darwin-4B-David
Darwin-4B-David runs on a single 16GB consumer GPU (~3 GB VRAM with KV-cache headroom). Full-precision inference fits on a single H100 80GB at FP16 precision (~10 GB).

Can I use Darwin-4B-David commercially?
Commercial use is allowed with conditions. Licence terms not specified — verify the upstream model card before commercial use. Check upstream documentation.
How much VRAM does Darwin-4B-David need?
Approximately 3 GB at Q4 quantisation, or 10 GB at full FP16 precision. Fits on a single 24GB consumer GPU.
Can I run Darwin-4B-David locally?
Yes. Darwin-4B-David is open-weights and runs locally on a workstation GPU. osFoundry's local runtime handles model loading, quantisation, and routing.
What is Darwin-4B-David best at?
Darwin-4B-David is well-suited to text generation.
How do I use Darwin-4B-David in osFoundry?
Paste your FINAL-Bench API key in the key dialog (or deploy the open weights for self-hostable models), assign Darwin-4B-David to a Maestro role in the Pipeline tab, then use it in chat, Room Apps via invokeAI, or your own apps.
