You're right, I should be pointing towards specific examples. I might have to put together an actual thread/topic post covering at least a bit of 101 stuff. I don't know why I've always been a little vague in some of my responses on these topics. I mean besides how I'm pretty disorganized.
Anyway, right now ChatGPT is your best bet for generating code and programming solutions, I'll fully fess up to that. But this thread was more focused on image generation, and my comment was pointing to broader AI generated "stuff".
For text generation in general, I can point to a few specific LLM's that I've found a bit solid:
OpenHermes (and hybrid variants), Mistral, and Mixtral (this one is a potential upcoming contender to ChatGPT, but it's still not fully up to snuff on the code-gen). I've heard solid things about Goliath 120-b, Tess, and Nous-Capybara-34B-GGUF, but I cannot verify myself since those were out of my hardware range. There's a lot of solid 7-B and 13-B options, 30-B and up is where it's tougher to find solid options because a lot are sort of "Frankenstein" hybrids. Mixtral is its own thing though, and it's backed with some professional support. You can find most of these just through some basic searches.
A few people I'd mention that are worth following for more info:
https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/
https://www.reddit.com/user/WolframRavenwolf/submitted/
(The former has been a reliable go-to for spitting out quantifized models that are ready to go, the latter is someone who's been at least a semi-useful source for info on potential model leads)
As for front-end and backend for self-hosting, there's a lot of options. There's of course:
https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp
SillyTavern, and a lot more out there if you look around.
For image generation there's obviously Stable Diffusion. A few different self-hostable frontends and backends, IE:
https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui
https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI
And https://civitai.com/ for a lot of your SD resources.
Obviously there's a LOT more AI tools out there than just this, I'm just listing off some of the core starting points.
