As of today, what is the best local model that can be run on a system with 32gb of ram and 24gb of vram?

I have not seen anyone mention _any_ constraints regarding geographic location or proximity to the man in question. How would your random travel fling be able to report her experience from across the globe?

Is it possible to know if you are on the app without anyone of your female relatives or friends having to submit their biometrics to a company who has had one of the worst breaches ever?
