Two ways to get AI Model help
If you're already on a Gamer or Creator Support Plan, model management is included - 1 install or revision per month at no extra charge. Otherwise, book Hourly Consulting at $60/hr for one-off help.

Most models install in 15-30 minutes. Complex setups with custom configurations may take 1-2 hours. We provide time estimates based on your specific requirements before booking.
Yes - we source models from Hugging Face, Civitai, NVIDIA, and other repositories. We can help you find the right models for your specific use case and hardware budget.
We test compatibility first and recommend alternatives if needed. If a model can't run on your hardware, we'll find quantized variants, distilled versions, or different models that meet your needs.
Custom training pipeline setup is available with DeepSpeed, LMTuner, or Axolotl for an additional $90 add-on. This includes setting up training infrastructure and fine-tuning models on your data.
Yes - we provide documentation and training for self-management. You'll be able to install, update, and swap models independently after your first session.
A model revision (the 1/month included in support plans) covers updating, reconfiguring, or replacing an existing model with a new one - full process from removal of the old to installation and configuration of the new.
If you're already paying for a Gamer ($75/mo) or Creator ($245/mo) support plan, model management comes free - just use your monthly slot. If you only need help once or twice a year, hourly consulting at $60/hr is more economical than a subscription.
