It's getting there. In the next few years as hardware gets better and models get more efficient we'll be able to run these systems entirely locally.
I'm already doing it, but I have some higher end hardware.
Could you please share your process for us mortals ?
Stable diffusion SXDL Turbo model running in Automatic1111 for image generation.
Ollama with Ollama-webui for an LLM. I like the Solar:7b model. It's lightweight, fast, and gives really good results.
I have some beefy hardware that I run it on, but it's not necessary to have.
Depends on what AI you're looking for. I don't know of an LLM (a language model,think chatgpt) that works decently on personal hardware, but I also haven't really looked. For art generation though, look up automatic1111 installation instructions for stable diffusion. If you have a decent GPU (I was running it on a 1060 slowly til I upgraded) it's a simple enough process to get started, there's tons of info online about it, and it's all run on local hardware.
Ollama with ollama-webui. Models like solar-10.7b and mistral-7b work nicely on local hardware. Solar 10.7b should work well on a card with 8GB of vram.
If you have really low specs use the recently open sourced Microsoft Phi model.
