Hi there, If I'm looking to use LLM AI in a similar way like Stable Diffusion, i.e. running it on my own PC using pre-trained models (checkpoints?) - where would I start?

If I would want to have access to it on my mobile devices - is this a possibility?

If I would then later want to create workflows using these AI tools - say use the LLM to generate prompts and automatically run them on Stable Diffusion - is this a possibility?

I'm consistently frustrated with ChatGPT seemingly not beeing able to remember a chat history past a certain point. Would a self-run model be better in that regard (i.e. will I be able to reference somethin in a chat thread that happened 2 weeks ago?)

Are there tools that would allow cross-thread referencing?

I have no expert knowledge whatsoever, but I don't shy away from spending hours learning new staff. Will I be able to take steps working towards my own personal AI assistant? Or would this be way out of scope for a hobbyist?

Thank you for the input! I recently upgraded my PC to be able to handle Stable Diffusion, and I got 12GB of VRAM to work with at the moment. I also have recently started to self-host some applications on a VPS, so some basics are there.

As for what I'd like to do with Stable Diffusion: One of my hobbies is storytelling and worldbuilding. I would like to (one day) be able to work on a story with a LLM and then prompt it: "now give me a drawing of the character we just introduced to the story" and the LLM would automagically rope in Stable Diffusion and produce a workable drawing with it. I think that this is probably beyond the capability of the current tools, but this is what I would like to achieve. I will definitely look into langchain to see what I can do with it.

That's also where the questions about context length and cross thread referencing come from. I did some work with ChatGPT and am amazed at how good a tool it is to "brainstorm with myself" in developing stories. However, it does not remember the story bits I've been working on 2 hours ago, which kinda bummed me out .. :)
