Careful how "safe" you present local models to the public. I run local models at home too, but FYI, you should first be aware yourself, and then always mention if instructing, the many growing security concerns around local AI--like embedded prompts/training that can be easily integrated and hidden within the model's weights themselves, and don't execute anything malicious until after they've been launched (the models themselves are tainted internally with malicious instructions). It's already happened, is nearly undetectable, and is just one of many examples where you can get a false sense of security, by feeling "safe and secure," after rationalizing it as, "because you're offline," when in reality, you may not be as "offline" as you think, and your activity, data, or worse, can be siphoned away silently in the background.<br>Malicious activity can also be integrated into the chat layer. Some launch tools are also capable of sharing chat logs / usage and more, where various AI might still be trained on your private data without your knowledge or consent.<br>AI training data is hard to come by, through legitimate means, which incentivizes illegitimate means, and every nation and every corporation want in...<br>PewDiePie recently proved how difficult it is to get voluntary legitimate data donation submissions, and he has a significant extra-large user base to draw support from. He basically got no one offering anything useful...<br><br>Kudos on the portable method though 👏, I'll give it a shot for funzies.

So I put the usb drive (with files on it that some indian guy on youtube told me to download) into the computer, and it "just needs to connect to the internet once to get set up?"<br>What could go wrong?

Just because it fits on a USB drive doesn't mean it'll run on someone's pc. The model requires high-end computers to run on

Hello, thank you for this excellent piece of software. It has been extremely helpful, as my Mac Mini has very limited storage capacity.
