We install and run the generators ourselves — from 3D models and video to sound effects. We write down how much VRAM each needs, what runs on CUDA and what works on Apple MPS and AMD ROCm, which is open source and which is a cloud subscription.
We read visitors’ search queries and write about them — ask right here.

What runs locally
The whole tool database →Pick a type, a chip — CUDA, Apple MPS or AMD ROCm — and a VRAM ceiling. What remains are the models that actually start. Requirements are as described by the authors, with a source and check date for every value.

llama.cpp v0.6.0: extended batch API, new models, and acceleration on Metal and Vulkan
llama.cpp v0.6.0 has been released. The release adds the extended batch API llama_batch_ext with the llama_process() function for mixed token/embedding batches…
Fresh arXiv papers and model releases — briefly, with a note on what you can already run yourself.
From points to a model
This is how every 3D generator works: first a point cloud, then a surface, then materials. Click and we show it step by step. The page stays light when opened: the frames load only when you ask.
The frames load only now, not when the page opens. They are AI-generated illustrations — a real viewer will appear when our “3D from a picture” tool goes live.
