so I got this shiny new GPU and I want to push it to the limit. What’s the most powerful, smartest model out there? Ideally something with as much long-term memory as possible. I’m coming off of ChatGPT 4 and want something local and uncensored

I'd try Goliath 120B and lzlv 70B. Those are the absolute best I've used, assuming you're doing story writing / RP and stuff.

LZLV should be speedy as can be and easily done in VRAM.

Goliath won't quite fit at 4 bit but you could do lower precision or sacrifice some speed and do q4_k_m GGUF with most of the layers offloaded. That'd be my choice, but I have a high tolerance for slow generation.

I'm willing to wait for quality so that's no problem!

Where can I go to find these models? And how do I set them up and get them running?

If you're on Windows, I'd download KoboldCPP and TheBloke's GGUF models from HuggingFace.

Then you just launch KoboldCPP, select the .gguf file, select your GPU, enter the number of layers to offload, set the context size (4096 for those), etc and launch it.

Then you're good to start messing around. Can use the Kobold interface that'll pop up or use it through the API with something like SillyTavern.
