selfhosted AI is 1000% more confidential than a human therapist; but stuff like ChatGPT? yeah stay away from those

learn C, so you can appreciate rust

in general, you would want something fast (probably something that fits in your GPU/VRAM) so you can get suggestions as fast as you can type. for chat, you’ll probably want the most intelligent/lorgest model you can run, it’s likely fine if it’s running on the CPU/RAM since the quality of an individual answer is more important than the speed in which many small answers can be generated. so, probably qwen for both, but, different sizes/quant for different use cases.

are you looking for autocomplete or chat?

games! in maybe 95% of cases you can find an open alternative to some (non-game) software, but with games it’s the opposite.

i would say that the main proprietary softwares i still use, are video games
