Prerequisites

Unfortunately, the world of AI is a very resource-intensive one.

The most important aspects are (if you have a supported GPU):

  • VRAM
  • RAM (if the models are too large for the graphics card's memory)
  • Graphics card computing power
  • Disk space (gigabytes can add up quickly)
  • A fast internet connection (those gigabytes have to be downloaded at some point)
  • Lastly, the CPU

If you don't have a supported GPU in your PC:

  • CPU (the more threads the better)
  • RAM (the faster the better)
  • Disk space
  • Internet connection

You should also have some basic knowledge of using Linux and possibly Windows, and be able to install both systems. Most of the content and tutorials on this website will quickly push beginners to their limits. Therefore, you should be able to search for solutions when encountering problems.
