LM Studio[0] is the best "i'm new here and what is this!?" tool for dipping your toes in the water.

If the model supports "vision" or "sound", that tool makes it relatively painless to take your input file + text and feed it to the model.

Thank you! I will give it a try and see if I can get that 4090 working a bit.
