Setup NVIDIA Chat with RTX on Windows 11
Published:
“Chat with RTX” is an application that allows customization of a GPT large language model (LLM) with your specific content like documents and notes. This enables you to generate contextually relevant answers from a bespoke chatbot. The entire setup operates locally on RTX-enabled Windows PCs or workstations, ensuring quick and secure access to information.
I have an RTX 4060Ti and Windows 11 desktop. Below shows the steps to set it up.
