Am I the only one that really hates huggingface? It's such a confusing website to use, and most of the time the things just spit out errors. And I'm never sure if this is just a free thing, or a demo, or something that I have to pay.

Like what is the proper way to use that thing?!

Huggingface takes a bit of getting used to but it's the place to find models and datasets, imo it may be one of the most important websites on the internet today.

But what exactly is a model? Can I download and run it? Do I need to access it through their API? Do I need to pay for some server that has all the needed software already running on it? It seems open and not open at the same time.

The model is the brain, you use something like Kobold.cpp to load the model. You'll have to work with the settings and try different models to get the right load on your GPU.
