Is there any computer program with AI capabilities (the generative ones seen in ChatGPT; onlineText-to-Picture generators, etc.) that is actually standalone? i.e. able to run in a fully offline environment.
As far as I understand, the most popular AI technology rn consists of a bunch of matrix algebra, convolutions and parallel processing of many low-precision floating-point numbers, which works because statistics and absurdly huge datasets. So if any such program existed, how would it even have a reasonable storage size if it needs the dataset?
For LLMs, the already mentioned LM Studio does a good job as far as beginner friendliness goes.
For text-to-image, I like Fooocus, which is a custom Stable Diffusion setup with automatic prompt enhancement, which can comfortably compete with Midjourney.
Here’s a setup guide for first time users. There’s also an online version to try it out.
Just wanted to thank you, as I hadn’t had any luck running any other SD software on my AMD setup with Nobara. But after a couple of fixes to get rocm running, this one runs, and runs pretty fast. Thanks!
