A free engine that runs real AI models on your own computer: offline, no graphics card, nothing sent to anyone's server. Everyone writes about the 372 GB version, so most people assume it isn't for them. There's a 4 GB one in the same table. Here's how to find your row, what it'll cost you in time, and what it's actually good for.
