Hello all, you all seem to be well versed in this stuff and I can’t seem to find many ai or chatbot communities at all. Anyway, I’ve just been using the free, outdated gpt3.5 on the openai site and it really opened my eyes to how useful of a tool it is. I mean it helps me with everything, especially computer related and troubleshooting… But of course it has its flaws. Its limited in capabilities, knowledge cutoff at 2021, assuming its highly restrictive and censored as well.
I would love a solution, probably gpt4, but I entered the hugging face rabbit hole and now I’m completely lost lmao. What are some good options for someone who wants basically same functions of the free chatgpt but up to date, smarter, and just better. I’m willing to put in some work to build something, if its not too tricky. I get lost easily at this technical level. Or an out of box option is preferred. I have no clue about models other than gpt4 and I guess that’s what I’m looking for or something better for either free or a lower cost than openai’s $20 a month. And preferably something more private and less restrictive for the nsfw and darker questions lol
I hope this ramble makes some sense at least. I just opened my eyes to this field and its pretty deep. As of now, newb friendly,user friendly for someone with some OK tech/computing knowledge. Thanks
There may be other out of the box type solutions. This setup really isn’t bad. You can find info on places like YT that are step by step for Windows.
If you are at all interested in learning about software and how to get started using a command line, this would be a good place to start.
Oobabooga is well configured to make installation easy. It just involves a few commands that are unlikely to have catastrophic errors. All of the steps required are detailed in the README.md file. You don’t actually need to know or understand everything I described in the last message. I described why the model is named like x/y/z if you care to understand. This just explained details I learned by making lots of mistakes. The key here is that I linked to the model you need specifically and tried to explain how to choose the right file from the linked model. If you still don’t understand, feel free to ask. Most people here remember what it was like to learn.

Wow man that’s all very interesting. I do not think I can figure it out though. Its more complex than I thought it’d be.
