When you open Halcyon Flux Browser for the first time, you'll be prompted to download the AI visual search models before using the app.

What to expect on first launch:

Skipping the download:

You can dismiss the download prompt and use the app without AI features. Visual search and similar image finding will be unavailable until models are downloaded.

Re-downloading models:

If models are corrupted or missing, go to Settings → AI Visual Search → Manage Models to trigger a fresh download.
