The Kobold does not work with old CPU. I had to search for a Kobold version that works with my CPU. but then i could download Chatwaifu and use it. I really like this game but i can understand that the technical details can scare some users. Maybe we can produce an user friendly "how to" in ths forum?
Any version of a local neural network model has very high system requirements. To be more specific, if your GPU is
not a GeForce, or if your VRAM is less than 12GB and your RAM is below 16GB, I wouldn’t recommend even considering a local model.
A more practical and straightforward option is to use an API-based model. Among the decent options with minimal censorship and even free to use, there’s
Gemini 2.0 and
Cosmorp. For paid options,
Sonnet is a good choice, and
Grok-3 is highly anticipated.
As for creating a more detailed guide than what’s already available in the game, there’s not much point. Technologies in this field are advancing at an incredible pace, and any guide could become outdated within a week. For specific details, like 'which uncensor model works best with CoboldCPP for my hardware,' you can use tools like Grok with DeepSearch. If something isn’t clear, you can always clarify right there.
