Not really, I'm talking mobile phone and near OpenAI quality. My workstation has allowed me to dabble - I'm familiar, a unified pool of memory does very little for me. The experience with self-hosted stuff leaves a bit to be desired, both in generation speed and content. The software needs work, I'm not saying we won't get there... just that we haven't, yet. With a ridiculously beefy system I can eek out some slow nonsense from the machine. It's neat, and I can do it, I just don't find it very useful
