NVIDIA Chat is the simplest way to get started working with open source AI models, using your own data, on Windows desktop. Installation is painless, the models are enhanced with NVIDIA’s special back end for extra speed, and it’s running locally so you don’t need to worry about companies training on your private data.

Let’s look at how easy it is to get set up, how it compares to other AI options, and what sorts of tasks NVIDIA Chat lets you tackle with your own data.

Installing NVIDIA Chat

Let’s dive right in by installing NVIDIA Chat. To do this, go to the NVIDIA Chat download page, and click the Download Now button.

Be patient, the download is about 35 GB. When I downloaded it, I had to let it download over night because NVIDIA’s servers were only letting me download it very slowly. At one point the estimated time to download was showing as over two days!
