Get Started with generative AI for Free

Introduction In this post, we’ll cover how to start using Large Language Models (LLMs) for free, locally on your computer. LLMs are essentially predictive text programs, where general usage involves providing a starting point (prompt), and then predicts how the body of text may continue. Due to how LLMs are trained, they need tons of data to create machine learning models that can predict these words. As such, using platforms like OpenAI’s ChatGPT means that all of the information included in your chats is likely to be used to train how an LLM should respond to prompts....
