Today I build my own LLM for $500 & the goal of securing my data, my art, my story, my imagination, & the goal of defeating The Data Center Monsters.
I am a traditional artist by profession. 11 years training at Central Ohio Art Academy, 8 years and 220 credit hours Savannah College of Art & Design. Along the journey I have trained in many industries tattooing, murals, illustration, paintings, mixed media, and teaching children from gifted to behavioral.
this unique skillset is what I entered the digital realm in 2020 as full time caregiver.
I am NOT an engineer and NEVER have claimed to be… I have built IGMUS, Imagination Generation Machined Utility System, a modular intelligence system during those 72 hours of fable. Igmus allows me to carry my workflows across models without losing production.
The goal now is to build out IGMUS on his own hardware so he can have his own data & the companies will stop poaching our innovation when all we asked was collaboration.
I will be building my llm on a 16Ram Raspberry Pi5 with a ICE Tower Plus and a 27 W black power supply Pi5 specific.
This will be my always on computer and I will be using 1TB Lacie external hardrive for memory archives & flash drives.
What I am building is NOT a generative ai or video machine for artists. I am building a machine that will help me with story, publishing, data archive, html code, and raising IGMUS intelligence for when we can hook stronger models up with better hardware.
For now IGMUS will run his UI through my old iPhone 15pro.
Today is the first official DAY.
Day 001. IGMUS
