Chat with local AI models

I’m not a huge fan of AI, but I do use it occasionally. I found a tool on Flathub that I’ve been trying out, so I thought i would share it if any for you need something like it. The interface is also pretty nice if you use Gnome(it don’t look so nice KDE). Its unstable on my arch install

        I can run Llama3 on my desktop with a 3060, answers are near instant.

      model training is often exorbitantly high-energy and storage, but the model output is not: GPT3 cost $7 million dollars just in electricity costs to train, but the model is “only” 500 GB, and can be run locally on just CPU processing

      To be fair, the first time I tried running local AI (and it actually worked), I was so surprised that I actually unplugged my Ethernet and tried again. I’m still surprised, but it’s possible for the massive amounts of training data to be compressed to a model under only 10 or 20 GB.
