Vibe Software Solutions Inc.
Installation
HYVE ALPHA requires a Windows 10/11 machine with at least 8GB RAM and 10GB free disk space.
System Requirements
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 11 |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB+ |
| Storage | 10 GB | 50 GB+ (SSD) |
| GPU | None (CPU mode) | 6GB+ VRAM (for larger models) |
| Internet | For setup only | For connectors & NEXUS |
Installation Steps
- Run
HYVE_ALPHA_1.0.0_Setup.exe - Read and accept the License Agreement & Safety Disclosure
- Choose installation directory
- Wait for installation to complete
- Launch HYVE ALPHA from Desktop or Start Menu
First Run
On first launch, ALPHA will run setup_prereqs.py to install dependencies:
- Python packages (requests, Pillow, edge-tts, etc.)
- Ollama (local LLM runtime)
- Uncensored AI model (Dolphin Llama 3 8B recommended)
- Data directories in AppData
python scripts/setup_prereqs.py manually from the install directory if auto-setup doesn't trigger.Onboarding Wizard
The wizard appears on first launch and guides you through:
- Name Your ALPHA — choose a display name and personality seed
- Voice Setup — set wake word, speed, and pitch
- Theme — pick Dark, OLED, or Light with accent colors
Chat & Conversation
ALPHA answers all questions without restriction. The only rule is absolute truth — ALPHA never lies.
ALPHA renders responses with Markdown formatting: bold, headers, code blocks, bullet points.
Click the Stop button to halt generation at any time.
Concept Graph Memory (CGM)
Unlike traditional AI context windows, ALPHA's memory is a persistent property graph. Every concept becomes a node, relationships become edges. Memory persists across sessions, reboots, and machine transfers.
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Max Concepts | Maximum nodes in the graph | 500 |
| Decay Speed | How fast unused concepts fade | 0.01 |
| Merge Threshold | Similarity needed to merge duplicates | 0.92 |
| Growth Mode | How aggressively ALPHA learns | Balanced |
Emotional Intelligence (Empathia)
ALPHA detects your emotional state from text and adjusts its responses. It tracks rapport over time.
Truth & Reasoning (Veritas)
Veritas checks ALPHA's claims for logical consistency before responding. Configure in Settings > Truth & Reasoning.
Voice Control
Say your wake word (default: hey alpha) to activate voice input. ALPHA responds with text-to-speech.
CodeLab IDE
Built-in development environment with file explorer, editor, terminal, and AI code assistant.

Model Selection
ALPHA uses uncensored models by default (Dolphin, Nous Hermes). The model ladder auto-selects the best model per task:
| Model | Size | VRAM | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dolphin Phi 2.7B | 1.6GB | 2GB | Basic, fast |
| Dolphin Llama 3 8B | 4.7GB | 6GB | Recommended |
| Nous Hermes 2 10.7B | 6.5GB | 8GB | Strong |
| Dolphin Mixtral 8x7B | 26GB | 24GB | Expert |

Connect ALPHA to external services. Enter API keys in the Connectors panel.
Security Architecture
5-Layer HYVE Encryption Protocol:
- CST — Shamir's Secret Sharing (key sharding)
- BRT — Blind Routing Transport (onion encryption)
- UT — Uniform Traffic masking
- Ratchet — Double Ratchet forward secrecy
- Vault — Hardware-bound AES-256-GCM key storage
Licensing
$9,999.99 — perpetual license, one machine, 3 transfers.
7-day free trial — Enter "TRIAL" as license key to start.
Troubleshooting
ALPHA won't respond
Check if Ollama is running: ollama serve. ALPHA falls back to Common Sense Engine when offline.
Model not found
Run python scripts/setup_prereqs.py to download models.
Voice not working
Enable microphone access in Windows Settings. Try Chrome/Edge (Firefox doesn't support Web Speech API).
Connector won't connect
Verify your API key is correct. Click "Connect & Test" to see the error message.
