What is the difference between chat, cai-chat, and instruct, and how to use them?
Nope they don't use venv for any of the oobabooga# variants nor is it recommended for the git version. I'm using https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge#mambaforge-pypy3 (better version of the recommended conda) for the git variant. The oobabooga* variant uses micro/miniconda (I suck with names) which you can easily drop into with cmd_?something? and does it all internally. Like whoever built that whole environment setup for the _windows/linux/mac did a great job.

PSA: conda-libmamba-solver can cut two hours off of your Anaconda install, but has only 47 GitHub stars. It deserves more praise.

A quick guide to using mamba-forge for python virtual environment management
Just to further clarify: you don't need mamba to avoid the Anaconda distribution. The place you get mambaforge also supplies (and originally supplied) miniforge, which is miniconda with conda-forge set as the default channel. All the *forge installers do in this regard is automatically set conda-forge as the default (and only) channel, which is something one can do manually with miniconda.
