Ways to use SciThinker-30B in osFoundry
Connect with your own key (BYOK)
Open the key dialog and paste your OpenMOSS-Team API key. osFoundry discovers SciThinker-30B 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
SciThinker-30B 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 SciThinker-30B
SciThinker-30B runs on a 24GB consumer or workstation GPU (~18 GB VRAM with KV-cache headroom). Full-precision inference fits on a single H100 80GB at FP16 precision (~72 GB).

Frequently asked about SciThinker-30B
Is SciThinker-30B free to use?
SciThinker-30B is free to run locally on your own hardware. Hosted access through osFoundry is metered (input Free (local), output Free (local)). You can switch between local and hosted at any time.
Can I use SciThinker-30B 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 SciThinker-30B need?
Approximately 18 GB at Q4 quantisation, or 72 GB at full FP16 precision. Fits on a single 24GB consumer GPU.
Can I run SciThinker-30B locally?
Yes. SciThinker-30B is open-weights and runs locally on a workstation GPU. osFoundry's local runtime handles model loading, quantisation, and routing.
What is SciThinker-30B best at?
SciThinker-30B is well-suited to text generation.
How do I use SciThinker-30B in osFoundry?
Paste your OpenMOSS-Team API key in the key dialog (or deploy the open weights for self-hostable models), assign SciThinker-30B to a Maestro role in the Pipeline tab, then use it in chat, Room Apps via invokeAI, or your own apps.
