But when it comes to AI, the Chinese are leaving the US in the dust.

Skynet starts in China, then.

@Bozza

I can't find myself trusting a Chinese model on my laptop they are state run everything and everything China puts out is for the benefit of the Chinese state government

@Bozza I gotta look up how to do this.

I have some laptops with good gaming cards (I think Nvidia 4090) is that good enough?

I haven't tried local hosting a model yet

@Bozza

For his sake I hope it works out but I've yet to see a man avoid blue pill hell by being spoonfed

Eventually he is going to find himself in a situation where Uncle Bozza isn't there to spoon-feed him from a catastrophic frame loss and his blue pill instincts will kick in

@Bozza

Every guy thinks he has special magic teaching RP wizardry to humble newbies until they realize that blue pill wizardry is always more powerful than RP wizardry

His blue pill beliefs act like plot armor to your RP practicalities

Don't get comfortable thinking you can do only what a woman and rock bottom can achieve for his blue pill fantasies

@Bozza Sounds like it all depends on if he gets cunt struck. If he does he will be straight back into Beta mode for a proven monkey brancher, forever insecure forever simping urgently.

If he manages to spend long enough as a free man to realise what freedom and opportunity are, he might have a chance to get red pilled. Otherwise the next red pill he will take will be the suppository that the monkey brancher serves him in due course.

I'd recommend Qwen locally, it's a much more efficient (and better) model than Google's Gemma.

Can run it on lower hardware.

Qwen is an Open Source Chinese model, for disclosure.

But when it comes to AI, the Chinese are leaving the US in the dust.

They're just pumping state funds into these models, and then open sourcing them - so people all over the world improve them.

And then there's OpenAI doing the private stuff, lots of money but they can't keep up.

@Vermillion-Rx

Qwen - lmstudio.ai/models/qwen3.6

Gemma 4 - lmstudio.ai/models/gemma-4

@Vermillion-Rx You can (and should) run AI on your own PC, locally.

Own your own data, join the self host crew yada yada.

But yeah you can host Claude code equiv AI on your own computer (given its fast enough) with LMStudio

Try out Gwen or Gemma 4

Needs a pretty beefy computer tho.

Chatbot a little easier, if you want the agent stuff you need a high end PC.
