Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Quick question, running a 9070xt here, what's the quickest/easiest way to get started running this locally? What's the most privacy respecting/trusted/safe way to run this stuff? Not after a fully blown agent I guess, something to help with my coding mostly as a search engine. I'm pretty ignorant on how this all comes together sorry. Do I even bother?
That is my current journey - trying to figure it out.
I want this from a local LLM:
I started with Automatic1111 ~2 years ago for generative image AI but uninstalled it at some time. In the last weekend I've installed LM Studio and Bionic and have been recomended Hermes as an agent.
