Like I said before no point running it on your own pc and those random bs website anymore
I used to run 12b myself it's like night and day. the huge context, idk how to explain it, 12b might made me goon but never made me cry or being emotional. Currently I'm doing a long rp with a massive lore book, it's life-like I'm wasting my days xD. About the privacy concern, I'm using burner gmail account that created on my android phone that no need to add phone number or anything. Also I've done heavy degen roleplay on both gemini and deepseek with no problem.
it's not that hard but is does take a bit of time to set up.
here some simple guide for gemini 2.5 pro and deepseek v3, R1. if you don't know how to do stuff google it or ask gpt, gemini. also
