Is there any computer program with AI capabilities (the generative ones seen in ChatGPT; onlineText-to-Picture generators, etc.) that is actually standalone? i.e. able to run in a fully offline environment.
As far as I understand, the most popular AI technology rn consists of a bunch of matrix algebra, convolutions and parallel processing of many low-precision floating-point numbers, which works because statistics and absurdly huge datasets. So if any such program existed, how would it even have a reasonable storage size if it needs the dataset?
Stable Diffusion (AI image generation) runs fully locally. The models (the datasets you’re referring to) are generally around 3GB in size. It’s more about the processing power needed for it to run (it’s very GPU-intensive) than the storage size on disk.
