gpt4all is the easiest way in, hands down, no contest

could try out the turbo models, might help

automatic1111 webui launcher, its stable diffusion. fun fact its icon is a pic of ho chi minh

if you wait, stable diffusion 3 is coming out soon. nvidia will run faster because its tensors are better unfortunately. SD is more ethical than others, you can load up models that are trained only on public art and pics

seconding gpt4all, makes it quick and easy to run and if youre fancy you can stream the output from your computer to your phone. i run a capybara-hermes-mistral mix but i would suggest starting with mistral instruct until claude3 comes out

im at 30TB uploaded but i swapped setups last year and idk what it was at before. so 30tb 1 year
