AI Model Installation & Management

Ongoing support for installing, updating, and optimizing local AI models. Performance tuning, version management, and troubleshooting. Bundled or hourly.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does model installation take?

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.

Can you help me find specific models?

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.

What if a model doesn't work on my hardware?

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.

Do you offer model training?

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.

Can I manage models myself after installation?

Yes - we provide documentation and training for self-management. You'll be able to install, update, and swap models independently after your first session.

What's included in a 'model revision'?

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.

Which path is right for me?

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.

Ready to install or update a model?

Tell us what you're trying to install, your hardware specs, and the use case - we'll confirm compatibility and quote time before booking.
