Can we please have a forum for LLMs/AI topics?

We had some interesting random threads in the past. Including screenshots , or playing games.
For me everything is ok "as it is". Do not overcomplicate things.

Too random makes the forums messy.
There is a reason why the forums is subdivided in forums, subforums, and threads.
You need some kind of order for not to spread all different kind of things randomly all over the place.
Within Off-Topic that may be no big deal, but don't we forget: Off-Topic is a side show.

Think of it like a desk in your office:
If it gets too messy, you may end up in the situation you're absolutely positive you've put that darn [contract/cheque/important letter/document/car keys/...] on you desk, but you simply cannot find in time, or even not at all anymore, because it's somewhere buried under payed bills, obsolete notes, empty envelopes, expired coupons,... lost in garbage.
So keep the AI stuff within its own forums, so it does not trash the other places.😁

True, but then discussions about LLM tools can stay in "Porting new software" without the need of a specific section under "Server and Networking".

My first choice is "Artificial Intelligence" under Miscellaneous. Second choice: do not change anything, and wait few months, monitoring the situation. Third choice: I agree with everything :-)

Only if they are, in fact, about creating a new port for said tool. Installation/upgrade issues (existing port or package) can go in "Installation and updating of ports and packages", that split is already there.

A VPN for example, can fit in different categories depending on the exact issue at hand. That's how I've been moving things for the past decade.
Installation/upgrade issues -> "Installation and updating"
Configuration of the client and/or service itself -> "Web and network services"
TCP/IP and Routing issues -> "Networking"
 
What might crypto coin mining go under? I figure GPUs can mine and AI can be accelerated with a GPU; gaming/multimedia has a section but what else might someone use a GPU for if not AI or mining?

I'd sooner use a GPU for mining than AI :p (quick search pulled up a recent miner commit related to FreeBSD)
