Create Your Personalized AI Chatbot with NVIDIA's Chat With RTX
For developers, Chat with RTX serves as a valuable blueprint for creating customized language model (LLM) applications.
Nvidia has unveiled a new tool called Chat with RTX, designed to enable users of GeForce RTX 30 Series and 40 Series graphics cards to run an AI-powered chatbot offline on their Windows PC. This move by Nvidia aims to incentivize the adoption of its latest GPUs while offering users the convenience of accessing AI capabilities directly on their personal computers.
Chat with RTX allows users to customize a GenAI model, similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT, by integrating it with documents, files, and notes stored locally on their PC. With this tool, users can query the AI-powered chatbot by typing questions, eliminating the need to manually search through saved content. For instance, users can ask questions like, "What was the restaurant my Sarah recommended?" and Chat with RTX will scan local files to provide relevant answers with context.
While the default model supported by Chat with RTX is Mistral's open-source model, the tool also offers compatibility with other text-based models, including Meta's Llama 2. However, users should be aware that downloading all necessary files may consume a significant amount of storage, ranging from 50GB to 100GB, depending on the selected model(s).
Currently, Chat with RTX supports various file formats, including text, PDF, .doc, .docx, and .xml. Users can point the app to a folder containing supported files, which will then be loaded into the model's fine-tuning dataset. Additionally, Chat with RTX can process the URL of a YouTube playlist to load transcriptions of the videos, enabling the selected model to query their contents.
However, Nvidia acknowledges certain limitations of Chat with RTX. For instance, the tool does not retain context between questions, meaning it won't consider previous inquiries when answering follow-up questions. Additionally, the relevance of responses may vary based on factors such as question phrasing, model performance, and dataset size.
One of the key advantages of Chat with RTX is its local operation, ensuring both speed and privacy for users. With no reliance on cloud services or third-party data sharing, your interactions remain secure and confidential. Additionally, this local processing capability means Chat with RTX functions seamlessly even without an internet connection.
To get started with Chat with RTX, ensure your system meets the minimum requirements: an RTX 30 series GPU with 8GB of VRAM, 16GB of system RAM, and Windows 11. Once these prerequisites are met, you're ready to embark on a journey of AI-driven conversations tailored to your needs.
Experience the future of AI interaction with Chat with RTX, where innovation meets accessibility on your Windows PC. Dive into the world of generative AI and unlock new realms of productivity and creativity, all from the comfort of your desktop.
