Do you use it to help with schoolwork / work? Maybe to help you code projects, or to help teach you how to do something?

What are your preferred models and why?

I'm downloading pre-trained models. I had a bunch of dependency issues getting text-generation-webui to work and honestly I probably installed some useless crap in the process, but I did get it to work. LM Studio is much simpler, but less customization(or I just don't know how to use it all in lm studio). But yea, I'm just downloading pre-trained models and running them in these UI's (right now I just loaded up 'deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-7b' in LM Studio). I also have the nvidia app installed and I make sure my gpu drivers are always up to date.
