In an ideal universe, A.I. could have been a good and helpful tool. But in the world we live in, that's unfortunately impossible.

The closest we have to good, is a local LLM running on your (comparatively) tiny consumer graphics card, which is barely powerful enough to reword an email.

You can spill over to system RAM on unsloth now.

It's slower, but that's better than not being able to run something.
