In case local AI models are banned, it's critical you start experimenting with them now Luckily Hermes just released an awesome feature that makes it easy for ANYONE to get started, no matter what computer you have It will literally determine which model is best for you, then load it and run it. No technical work required at all Just go into the Hermes desktop app then go to settings, providers, then local models. From there is will recommend which model you should be running on your computer. Even if you're running a dirt cheap Mac Mini You click 'set up for me' and it handles EVERYTHING
