Bad doesn’t even begin to describe the current TorchChat experience. PyTorch’s new CLI-based LLM loaders are messy, overcomplicated, and painfully fragile.
This is an extremely challenging set up. Most users will struggle or fail outright. That’s why the full set up script is provided for free.
FREE for all members.
You must run this script inside WSL. CUDA and cuDNN must already be set up or TorchChat will fail.
A ready-to-use WSL setup with CUDA support can be found here: wsl.getgoingfast.pro
Get Going Fast provides community setup guidance, documentation, tutorials, troubleshooting support, and member services. Get Going Fast does not sell, host, store, mirror, or redistribute AI model files, model weights, training datasets, or third-party project files.
When a setup guide references third-party dependencies, repositories, or model files, it points users to official upstream public sources such as GitHub, Hugging Face, package managers, or original project repositories, subject to those sources' own licenses, terms, and availability.
