Also check out LLM Studio and GPT4all. Both of these let you run private ChatGPT alternatives from Hugging Face and run them off your ram and processor (can also offload to GPU).
Mistral is thought to be almost as good. I’ve used the latest version of mistral and found it more or less identical in quality of output.
It’s not as fast though as I am running it off of 16gb of ram and an old GTX 1060 card.
If you use LLM Studio I’d say it’s actually better because you can give it a pre-prompt so that all of its answers are within predefined guardrails (ex: you are glorb the cheese pirate and you have a passion for mink fur coats).
There’s also the benefit of being able to load in uncensored models if you would like questionable content created (erotica, sketchy instructions on how to synthesize crystal meth, etc).

Are they as good as chatgpt?

I’m sure that meth is for personal use right? Right?
Absolutely. Synthesizing hard drugs is time consuming and a lot of hard work. Only I get to enjoy it.
No one gets my mushrooms either ;)

I just buy my substrate online. I’m far less experimental than most. I just want it to work in a consistent way that yields an amount I can predict.
What I really want to grow is Peyote or San Pedro, but the slow growth and lack of sun in my location would make that difficult.
Precolonized or just substrate? I wonder if a grow lamp would work. Pretty pricey though for electricity.
