If you build desktop apps in 2026, you must pick a framework.

I built Quantamind.

It is a workspace for local AI models. You use it to test prompts and compare models.

Most people use Electron. Electron is common.

I did not use Electron. Here is why.

AI models need memory. Your tools should not fight your models for RAM.

Electron uses 600MB of RAM while idle. It acts like a browser. It takes memory your LLM needs.

Tauri is different.

Compare the memory:

• Electron Idle RAM: 600MB
• Tauri Idle RAM: 80MB

Tauri uses 85% less memory. This is a requirement for local AI tools.

Do you use Tauri? Tell me in the comments.
