Nvidia recently introduced a new AI chatbot called Chat with RTX, offering users the ability to engage in conversations with AI models offline. With this innovation, Nvidia aims to bridge the gap between cloud-based chatbots and local AI tools, bringing convenience and efficiency to users.
To download Chat with RTX, users need to have an RTX 30-series or 40-series GPU with at least 8GB of VRAM, 16GB of system RAM, 100GB of disk space, and Windows 11. The installation process involves downloading the 35GB compressed folder from Nvidia’s website, extracting the files, running the setup.exe file, and selecting a location with sufficient disk space for the data.
Users can leverage the power of Chat with RTX by adding their own data to the AI model. By creating a folder containing .txt, .pdf, or .doc files, users can input their datasets into the chatbot and select the desired AI model (Llama 2 or Mistral) for generating responses. Specific questions based on the dataset typically yield better results than general inquiries.
Additionally, Chat with RTX allows users to engage with YouTube videos by analyzing the transcripts and providing responses based on the content. By pasting a YouTube video link, users can download the transcripts, refresh the model, and start chatting about the video content. However, limitations exist, such as the AI model’s inability to interpret visuals from the video.
Overall, Nvidia’s Chat with RTX provides a glimpse into the future of local AI chatbots, offering users the opportunity to interact with AI models offline and explore the possibilities of AI-driven conversations. While some bugs may be present during the initial stages, this tool showcases the potential for personalized AI interactions outside the cloud environment.
