RTS AI / BROWSER AND WINDOWS

Play RTS AI.

Planned Windows setup and system requirements
01 / THE INSTALLER ASKS ONE QUESTION

How should your co-commander think?

These choices are planned for the Windows installer. Hosted AI still needs a live service acceptance test before release. You can switch later in the game's settings: AI Off, Local, or External (your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint). See what hosted AI sends.

Voice models about 270 MB

Hosted AI + local voice

Default

The co-commander thinks on rtsai.net with Claude (Anthropic). Speech recognition and the voice run on your PC, so your audio is never uploaded. A daily allowance, no account needed.

Needs an internet connection. Offline or over the allowance, it falls back to alert lines.
Qwen3-VL, Whisper and Kokoro

Full local AI

~1.8 GB

The co-commander runs entirely on your PC: thinking, map vision, speech recognition and voice. Nothing is sent to rtsai.net or Anthropic.

Best with 16 GB of memory; answer speed depends on your CPU.
No model download

No AI

Smallest

Play without the co-commander. Nothing is downloaded for AI and nothing is sent to rtsai.net.

You can turn the co-commander on later in the game's settings.
02 / WINDOWS REQUIREMENTS

What your PC needs.

These are the documented targets for the Windows download; a clean-machine hardware matrix is still being validated, so we do not promise AI response times.

Own Red Alert 2? An optional classic add-on brings the original factions.

EARLIER PROTOTYPE / 0.1.0-alpha.13

Earlier Classic prototype

OpenRA AI 0.1.0-alpha.13 is the earlier public prototype, built on OpenRA's classic battlefield, with the co-commander and the Red Sea 2026 slice (Saudi Arabia and Yemen). It stays available as it is; it is not RTS AI.

The Classic prototype keeps its own AI setup: an optional local model pack or an external provider you choose. Hosted AI and the installer choices above belong to RTS AI.
