Deployment Modes

Zortex supports two deployment modes: Zortex Lite — A lightweight Chat UI that requires minimal resources (under 1GB of memory). It is great for users who want to try Zortex quickly or teams only interested in Chat and Agents. Includes LLM chat, tools, file uploads, and Projects, but does not include the vector database, background workers, or model inference servers. Zortex Standard — The full Zortex platform, recommended for serious users and larger teams. Includes everything in Lite plus:
  • Vector + Keyword index for RAG
  • Background containers for syncing knowledge from connectors
  • AI model inference servers for deep learning models used during indexing and inference
  • Performance optimizations via Redis and MinIO
