It's a small model by comparison. If you want something that's offline and actually closer to comparing to ChatGPT 3.5, you'll want the Mixtral 8x7B model instead (running on a beefy machine):

Sick, I only need 90gb of VRAM!

I've got it running with a 3090 and 32GB of RAM.

There are some models that let you run with hybrid system RAM and VRAM (it will just be slower than running it exclusively with VRAM).

I always find it interesting how text is so much slower than image generation. I can do a 1024x1024 in probably 20s, but I get like 1 word a second with text.
