What does “active” mean in this context? Is giving an upvote or opening the app enough, or do I need to write a comment/post?

Why such a snarky remark? Why not just answer OPs questions and create a welcoming, entertaining, educative environment for all of us?

Well, honestly: I have this kind of computational power at my university, and we are in dire need of a locally hosted LLM for a project, so at least for me as a researcher, its really really cool to have that.

Unpopular opinion: your opinion is not unpopular at all.
