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?

    Krita has an AI plugin that’s pretty painless to setup if you’ve got an nVidia card. AMD has to be done manually or you can fall back to slow CPU generation. It uses ComfyUI in the background.
