ITT: OP continues to be bewildered for being called out as the troon he is after posting this gay video in OP

>>105689394
I do wonder what kind of images they trained it on.
It's so good that it can recognize a pussy slip in an otherwise completely normal image. When it sees that it spergs out but if you censor it it describes the image as usual.

Tuesday my beloved

Are ~30B models any good for coding small (up to 4k lines) projects (on lua though). I have only 12GB of VRAM.

>>105689470
qwen2.5 coder is exceptionally good for its size, qwen3 version is supposedly in the works. You probably won't get it to one shot a 4k line script but it will write individual functions just fine if you tell it what you want.
I never tried it with lua though.

>>105689454
Why are you angry at me? I didn't force you to cut your dick off. You did it.

>>105689470
Qwen 3 30B should work reasonably well. Small models are decent for short fragments like that and Lua should be present in the data enough for it to know it without too many errors as long as you don't go below Q4.

>>105689489
kek

>>105689435
To clarify, the original image in that screenshot wasn't censored. I just censored it before posting it here.
The Gemma Team clearly trained it on a decent amount of NSFW photos and illustrations, as well as some medical imagery (which they probably increased in MedGemma 4B).

>>105689484
>>105689492
Thanks. What about devstal and glm4?

>>105689419
I once wrote a userscript that did something similar but it stopped working, I will post it here if I ever make it again.
It basically blurred every image in /lmg/ and would unblur it when clicked on (for the rare instances that something relevant was being posted)

It would be better if jannies did something about the degeneracy but they won't.

>>105689545
I know yours wasn't, I'm just saying that they have a pretty good dataset when it can recognize lewd details in an otherwise normal image.

>>105689548
Devstral should be ok but GLM4 is kind of dated at this point being from last year.

>>105689590
it's from two months ago bro

>>105689604
Time flies.

>>105689545
how do you send an image in sillytavern so it remains in context? it always tries to send it outside the convo with a stupid prompt from an extension

>>105689431
That must have really struck a nerve,

>>105689638
If you attach images to user or assistant messages, they'll remain in the conversation log. If you attach them to system messages, they won't. I'm not doing anything special there.

>>105689674
huh okay i must be retarded then

It is kind of crazy how even aicg has more interesting offtopic anime girl pictures than this place. This constant spam of the same mediocre staple green haired girl design is so tiresome. And then the faggot has to show everyone he has a collection of dolls. I mean holy fucking shit OG 4chan would convince you to kill yourself on a livestream you disgusting faggot.

kek

>>105689548
I had troubles with repetition using glm4 compared to qwen2.5 coder. I didn't really mess around with samplers though.

>>105689695
you have no idea what "og 4chan" was or wasn't since that was literally years before you were even born you mentally ill zoomer

Good. There are many hugboxes for your out there instead.

>>105690177
Nobody is going to dare ask for less censorship on twitter.

>>105690423
True distill requires logits. Training on generated datasets is not true distillation.

>>105690529
Exactly.
People calling fine tunes/pretrains distils is fucked.
Is that Deepseek's fault?

>>105690541

>>105690423
Gemma 3 models were already pre- and post-trained with knowledge distillation, although the technical report didn't go too much in depth into that.

> 2.2. Pre-training
>We follow a similar recipe as in Gemma 2 for pre-training with knowledge distillation.

>Distillation. We sample 256 logits per token, weighted by teacher probabilities. The student learns the teacher’s distribution within these samples via cross-entropy loss. The teacher’s target distribution is set to zero probability for non-sampled logits, and renormalized.

>Techniques. Our post-training approach relies on an improved version of knowledge distillation (Agarwal et al., 2024; Anil et al., 2018; Hinton et al., 2015) from a large IT teacher, along with a RL finetuning phase based on improved versions of BOND (Sessa et al., 2024), WARM (Ramé et al., 2024b), and WARP (Ramé et al., 2024a).

News for the handful of other people frequenting /lmg/ who are doing robotics stuff:

Google is releasing an on-device version of their gemini robotics VLA that they've had behind closed doors for a while.

https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/gemini-robotics-on-device-brings-ai-to-local-robotic-devices/

It's not really clear exactly how open this whole thing is. To get model access you have to submit a form to request to be part of their "trusted tester program". Not sure if it's going to be a heavily gatekept and vetted thing, or if it'll be like the old llama access requests where it was just a formality and everyone got blanket rubber stamp approved.

>>105691580
Nearly every model release with a new architecture?

https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/anthropic-wins-key-ruling-ai-authors-copyright-lawsuit-2025-06-24/
>A federal judge in San Francisco ruled late on Monday that Anthropic's use of books without permission to train its artificial intelligence system was legal under U.S. copyright law.
>Alsup also said, however, that Anthropic's copying and storage of more than 7 million pirated books in a "central library" infringed the authors' copyrights and was not fair use. The judge has ordered a trial in December to determine how much Anthropic owes for the infringement.
>U.S. copyright law says that willful copyright infringement can justify statutory damages of up to $150,000 per work.

Probably not for a while, current models don't have anywhere near the speed or precision to do that sort of act to any acceptable standard.

>>105691690
most judges don't actually understand how the technology they're passing rulings on actually works, the best they can do is equate it to the physical things they grew up with

in their mind:
training = going to the library and writing a book report
storage = stealing the books and keeping them at home

>>105691774

>>105691797
>more antisemitic chuds in the thread

Looks like the argument is simply that they should've bought the books that are still available for purchase.

>>105691819
>mention foreskin
>instantly someone calls it antisemetic
LMAO

>>105691816
Which china ebay? There's like 3 or 4 of them now. I remember checking one out once but it was all blocked from viewing without an account, so I never made one.

>>105691690
Training is OK: There's nothing wrong with reading a book and learning from it, even if you're a sequence of numbers.
Storage is not: The books being read must be acquired reasonably.

So the correct way to train your AI is to make a robot that can go into a library, take books off of shelves, and OCR the pages like Johnny 5 and use that data stream to update the model. And if you buy books you can have Johnny 5 read them as much as you like. But somewhere along the way, the Ferengi must get or have gotten their latinum.

>>105691839
>Which china ebay?
Meant regular eBay, shipped from China.

buying 7 million books at very generous 100 dollar average = 700 mil
scale ai (they wont even own them lmoa) = 14 billion

Bad news: it doesn't work on my GPU, i'm getting a CUDA error. I did not have such issue on unsloth quant with either backend.

Next is testing at different context depths.
>>105688269
apparently llama-bench in ik_llama.cpp doesn't have --n-depth implemented, they have some other tool llama-sweep-bench, but i don't know if you can use it to run just a couple of tests (pp512 at 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k depth) instead of this continuous sweeping. Maybe i could just port the n-depth bit to ik_llama.

Does anybody else have the impression during RP that Mistral Small 3.2 used data distilled either from Gemini (indirectly) or Gemma 3 (more directly)? Sometimes I feel like I have to check if I'm actually using MS3.2 instead of Gemma-3-27B.

>>105692176
Mistral does not use synthetic data, at all.

>>105692033

C/C++ will be the most useful to learn in general.
You'll learn things that you can apply everywhere.
From there you could go for Zig.

>>105692936
There are plenty of things to do. Local is in dire need of agentic frameworks

>>105692962
>Local is in dire need of agentic frameworks
What exactly are you hoping for? Agentic frameworks should work regardless of where the model is hosted.

>>105692985
Most of them rely on powerful cloud models to do the heavy lifting, which isn't an option locally

>>105693006
So you just want frameworks that assume the model being used is 8b with 4k context and don't ask anything too complex?

>>105692953
I did use C++ for a while a long ass time ago, before they started adding numbers ("c++0x? heh heh heh it's leet for cocks") and whatever crazy shit came with the numbers. But from the sound of it they just added more foot guns and not things that prevent cyber exploitation on every typo till there were so many that it caused Rust to happen. Makes me reluctant to put my toe back into the water.

And every time I think I'll try learning a new language every one of them seem like they deliberately have made a list of all the things that would be good, tore it in half at random, became excellent at one half, and completely shit all over the other half.

In that case, go for Zig for sure.

Retard, to solve that you just need very small specialized LLMs with structured outputs around a local model of ~30B. The complex task can then be divided into smaller tasks without having to one-shot it with Claude or Gemini

MoE models nowadays have a shared expert that's always evaluated, right?
Has anybody tried freezing the model and only fine tuning that expert (and whatever dense part the model might have sans the router I guess) for "creativity"?
I wonder what that would do.

>>105693216
>MoE models nowadays have a shared expert that's always evaluated, right?
DS and Llama do, Qwen don't.

>>105693216
The latest Qwen 3 MoE models don't used shared experts. However they were trained in a way to promote "expert specialization" (in a non-interpretable way, I suppose).

it really is over isnt it

When am I supposed to use other values than defaults for these?

--batch-size N logical maximum batch size (default: 2048)
--ubatch-size N physical maximum batch size (default: 512)
--threads-batch N number of threads to use during batch and prompt processing (default:
same as --threads)

of course

What would be the best model for generating specific sequences of JSON? I'd like it to output logs according to scenarios I explain to it like "user authenticates, user does XYZ, user session end" and have it create the appropriate artifacts. Should I start with Qwen coder and create a LORA with the data I have? 4090 btw

>>105693725
Qwen should be good at it.
Read

that might be useful.

>>105693709
Generally speaking leaving at default for normal models is close to optimal already but there have been times where I saw improvements and it depends on the model. Probably also depends on your system. You can only know by doing some benchmarking.

ahh i am doing

./llama.cpp/build/bin/llama-cli \
--rpc "$RPC_SERVERS" \

and i get 1t/s on 12 A5000, that bad or?

>>105693709
The best value depends on the combination of backend and hardware, IIRC.
99% of the cases (a newish NVIDIA GPU) the default is fine.
You can increase it to speed up pp if you have spare VRAM.

>>105693780
I would have thought you were SSDMAXXing

>>105693780
That's worse than running on a cpu, something is definitely wrong. If those a5000s are split on many machines through rpc, then it's going to be slow because the protocol is not very optimized.

>>105693780
>on 12 A5000
You are running most of the model on your CPU, which is bottlenecked by RAM bandwidth.
Adjust your -ot to make use of those GPUs anon.

>>105692962
>Local is in dire need of agentic frameworks
There are a gorillion "agentic frameworks" out there that work with local. Far too many in fact, and most of them are just trying to race to become a de facto standard while being absolute shit.

>>105693828
i thought -ot makes it all faster?

>>105693870
you have 12 not 1

>>105693870
-ot moves the expert tensors to run on CPU, aka live in RAM.
If you don't have enough VRAM to fit them, then yeah, it'll make things faster.
In your case, you want to only move the ones that don't fit in VRAM since you have so much of it and can probably fit most of them in there.

>>105693741
Cool. Thanks man

>>105693900
>-ot ".ffn_.*_exps.=CPU"
Or more specifically, -ot ffn etc etc does.
You'll have to craft a -ot mask that moves the tensors you want to where you want them.

>>105693904
BNF is awesome.

>>105693780
>--threads -1

You should avoid doing this. Limit it to the exact number of your PHYSICAL (not hyper-threaded logical) cores

I get 4 tkn/s on RTX 3090 with exactly this quant. I hope you are using the original llama.cpp, not ik_llama fork

>>105693780
>-ot ".ffn_.*_exps.=CPU"

This part is fine

I wonder how much the slopification also leads to model retardation. Since they follow patterns established by themselves, does it see the shit it's outputting (overuse of italics, overuse of expressions like "It's not - it's", etc) and decides that since it's obviously writing shit anyway, why put in any effort in completing its task.

Just annoyed because I asked Gemma 3 to perform literary analysis, and it puked out some shitty tropes instead of paying attention to the actual text.

whats that numa stuff?
i can only get the other cpus in a private network connected with a switch, so thats why i use the rpc server.

>>105692033
probably final update: performance comparison at different context depths. Only ran with `--repetitions 1`, as it already takes a long time as it is.
unsloth+llama.cpp pp512 uses GPU (1060 6GB), ubergarm+ik_llama.cpp pp512 uses CPU only. Both tg128 are CPU only.
At 8k context you can see a big difference, 3x pp and 2x tg with ik_llama.
Interesting point: running `llama-server` with the same flags as `llama-bench` doesn't throw CUDA error and pp on GPU works just fine...
Anyways, this is the kind of performance that you can expect for 400€ total worth of hardware, not great, but not terrible either considering the cost.
bonus: quick and dirty patch adding `-d, --n-depth` support to ik_llama, to compare results with llama.cpp: https://files.catbox.moe/e64yat.patch

>>105692065
Isn't it useful when you want to make captions? llama.cpp is the easiest way to run a vision model.

>>105693987
>any way i can see which -ot offload is better/worse besides testing?
As far as I know, not really.
I think the devs are working on a way to automatically set that, but that's not yet ready.

>>105693987
>>105694020
But it's basically a question of looking at each tensor size in the terminal and using -ot to only move as few as you must to RAM.

>>105693987
>whats that numa stuff?

You do not need to bother if you have a single CPU.

I have two on HP Z840, and thus have to take care of where the model will be place (it must be close to the CPU it will be run on, obviously)

numactl allows to define which cores to use. Interestingly, the neighboring CPU, if used, only slowed everything down.

The process is VERRRRY memory-intensive, and avoiding bottlenecks and collisions is the MUST

>>105694000
>Interesting point: running `llama-server` with the same flags as `llama-bench` doesn't throw CUDA error and pp on GPU works just fine...
nevermind, it shat itself on second assistant response with the same CUDA error, have to use `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=none`.

>>105694013
vLLM is easier and supports more/better models, assuming to have new enough hardware supported by their quant types.

>>105692197

Same here. ik_llama sucks big time. No magic.

>>105693514
see you sisters on the discord

>>105693890
how do i find out the tensor size? i can only find this.

i mean i think the vram should be enough to offload nothing? even on HF they say 251 gb vram for this model. are there any other stuff i can check before i play with offloading tensors?

>>105694048
vLLM and sglang are full of bugs, it's impossible to run InternVL3 on them.

>>105694000
>400€ total worth of hardware
Impressive for that much.
`-d, --n-depth` support to ik_llama
I though that's what -gp (not -pg) is for. e.g: -gp 4096,128 tests "tg128@pp4096"

>>105694096
go to repo where you got the gguf and click this
it's a file explorer of sorts, will show you what's inside

>>105694096
>>105693968

nta

use CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0," to use a single GPU out of your harem, the the suggested --override-tensor ".ffn_.*_exps.=CPU" will work too

At low context sizes, and --no-kv-offload ypu will use less that 12gb vram

>>105694075

very possible, but it was still missing pp tests like "pp512@d4096" afaik.

Another thought about ik_llama (latest commit)

mlock fails to fix the model in RAM which results in a long start time

>>105694096
Launch with --verbose and use -ot to do whatever and it'll output the name and size of all tensors.

>>105694188
mlock never ever worked for me in neither backend (loading models from NFS mount), maybe it's a bug or unimplemented feature in the Linux kernel, i always run with `--no-mmap` to guarantee it doesn't swap out.

>>105694200

ill report back

>>105694253
I run the original llama.cpp >>105693968

I saw no change with or without

your prompt_eval is lower than mine (16t/s), and the genning speed is just the same.

Keep optimizing and please report the results

>>105694431
It cannot be that your use a bunch of GPUs for prompt evaluation, and it is still so low

Something is botched

>>105694501

trying to only offload up after gate 25. hopefully the regex works.

ill report results.


ahhh maybe flash-attantion is missing?

>>105694501
Does prompt evaluation get any faster from having more GPUs in series?
I understand that generation doesn't.

>>105694501
>>105694487
its still offloading much to the cpu it seems. but now less then before.

>>105694515
>flash-attention

This will reduce VRAM usage and keep the genning speed stable

>>105694533
Look at what your GPUs are doing during prompt processing

>>105694621
And you will see the real pp speed with much bigger prompts like mine (20k tkn)

contextshift or swa? i may be stupid but swa just seems like it fucks up your context size, is it at least way faster or something?

>>105694621
I see only one of your 2 GPUs being used, so I'll guess the answer is no?

?????????
why the fuck did it try to allocate that?

>>105694653
This picture is to show that during prompt processing the dedicated GPU will run close to 100%.

My second GPU is M2000 - small and retarded, used for the display only, so I could have the entire RTX 3090 for AI stuff

Since bigger prompt are processed in batches, I would think that it can be distributed among several GPUs

Replace CPU in "exps.=CPU" with CUDA0 for your first GPU then another -ot for CUDA1 for the second etc to control which tensors go on the GPUs, then put -ot exps=CPU at the end so all the leftover tensors go to ram.

Offload less tensors to GPUs if you're OOMing, add more if you're not. All tensors of a type are the same size but how big they are depends on quantization.

I can do proper tests if necessary but it's good enough for RP and faster than slow reading speed. My speed before adding the rtx3090 was 15 tk/s pp and 4.4 dropping to 4 tk/s gen.

Main difference was the MLA and parallel param which literally cut VRAM usage down to a 1/3 which let me offload more tensors. Also. don't use ctv (quantise value cache) since it made garbage outputs with it. MLA param and threads param were what shot my speed up from 1 ish to 4+. Tried regular llama.cpp again last night and the speed is 1/4th of ikllama.

InternLM is the only one that could fit entirely inside all 3 cards, and depending on context size could still spill over into system RAM, in fact it's very likely that was the case.
I love GN and I know they don't usually do ML benches but this was an extremely amateur effort.

>>105696242
>qwq snowdrop
It feels like it's more stupid than regular qwq, and it doesn't seem trained on my particular kinks, so it doesn't really offer a better experience than just wrangling regular qwq.

It's not as smart but it is more fun. At least that has been my experience with it.

Try GLM4, I thought it was an upgrade to qwq and it doesn't need thinking.

Turned this shit off by accident. Quality went up 100%.

Actually, now that I think about it, can't I just train a lora for my kinks?
There's only 2 problems that I know of, one: I'm computer illiterate; two: there's like one or two pieces of literature that are adjacent to my kinks, but never quite accurately capture it. And I can't really use the big hosted solutions to generate synthetic data since they're not trained for it...

I fucking hate cloud shit though

Hello fellow retards. I am trying to get this shit running locally. So far I have text_generation_webui running on a local server that has an RTX 3080 Ti in it. I grabbed the "mythomax-l2-13b" model (thanks to ChatGPT fucking me up the ass when I was trying to figure this shit out on my own). It's trying to tell me about installing Chroma DB for persistent memory, but I don't fucking understand shit. Help this retarded nigger out, please. I don't even have a character thrown in yet. I am interested in using this shit for roleplay because I'm a worthless virgin who wants to talk to anime girls, and I was hoping to enable emotion recognition and mood shifts.

>>105696891
>Hey, I have a question about enabling persistent memory past the context, so my character remembers the night before and previous messages. I also want to know about emotional recognition and mood shifts. Does someone know how to do this?
>dude read the getting started
I need this shit spoonfed because I'm a raging baboon and wasted the past 8 hours trying to get this working. I'm not trying to coom. I'm trying to have an AI girlfriend so I don't kill myself.

>>105696911
you should still read the getting started because both your model and ui are trash and not good for an ai girlfriend
then you would be using silly and can use their memory solution and we wouldn't have to play 20 questions figuring out what part you didn't understand of a simple install process

I don't know why I spent so long fucking around with ollama as my backend to SillyTavern. I guess my friend telling me about being able to switch models on the fly really hooked me, but my god what was I doing not using Kobold? I haven't been able to get the kind of fever dream nightmare porn I've been missing this entire time just because Ollama just would operate like shit across every possible configuration I tried on ST. If I tried to use Universal-Super-Creative to get shit like this with Ollama I would get nothing but a text string of complete nonsense dogshit wordsalad instead of the vile flowing conciousness meatfucking I've been craving.

My bad for using the general dedicated to the discussion of local language models to discuss how to use local language models effectively. I'm struggling navigating the command line on fucking ubuntu server; switching to something else when I can barely wrap my head around wget is not what I was hoping to do. Regardless, looks like I can follow >>105696983's image (is that fucking Gemini?) to either get myself more fucked up, or maybe get it working altogether. If you don't hear from me, imagine it worked.

>>105697000
>My bad for using the general dedicated to the discussion of local language models
discussion not tech support

>>105697000
By the way, I'm pretty sure that gemini's response is wrong. In anyway case, I really wouldn't use text generation webui for what you're doing. You'll have a easier time running sillytavern on top, since it has easily installed extensions (some are even built in) for persistent memory, summarization, and dynamic images based on current emotion of the character.

>>105697000
I know it's overwhelming when you first try to get into it.
But anyway, AI can not be your girlfriend. It just doesn't work that way.

>>105697022
...Alright. Thank you for helping me. I'll try and figure out moving the files over to sillytavern. I'll google it.

>>105697022
Hey different guy here piling on tech support minute.
Is there a way to have SillyTavern highlight my messages/edits vs generated text? That was one of the features I remember from NovelAI (I think it was NovelAI) that I really liked, because it made it clear what in the text was my tard wrangling.

I've got some questions regarding DeepSeek-R1-0528. I'm a newb.

1. How censored is the model? (criteria: will it answer if I ask it to make a plan to genocide Indians?)
2. Is there any model on huggingface that's trained to be superior?
3. Is there something like a "VPS" so I can run it on my control? (I don't have a strong enough PC)

>>105697043
I know I said to switch over to sillytavern for that other anon, but I don't really rp, so I'm not too experienced a st user.

>>105697059
1. It'll refuse.
2. There are grifts trained to be "superior".
3. Yeah, you can rent them.

>>105697074
1. Damn. AI Studio does answer it.
2. Why grifts? None you recommend? Specially for censorship.
3. Any recommendations?

>>105697111
It'll refuse in the same way that most models will refuse any "problematic" request unless you explicit tell it to answer.
You can't really fine-tune the censorship out of a model. It needs to be done during pre-training.
And I run everything locally, I don't have any experience with that. If you're fine with slow speeds, you can run a low quant of it using cpu.

>>105696513
>>105696562

Thank you, anon

>>105697160
Thanks anon.

If anyone else has any renting deepseek experience, pls help.

>>105693514
the best part is that it appears Reddit gave the sub to some turbojanny who didn't even make a thread on "redditrequest" like everyone else has to.

It just goes to show (again) that there is a handful of moderators who get all the subs, and they likely all know the admins.
To who they speak directly on discord probably and are given the subs.

This guy here, was the first to actually request it but he didn't get it, and there were several more requests after him:
https://old.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/comments/1lhsjz1/rlocalllama/
And here's the guy who ended up getting it without even requesting it officially lol:
https://old.reddit.com/user/HOLUPREDICTIONS/submitted/
Hopefully someone calls him out on it, I would but I was banned from reddit.

>>105697160

I don't think the new one will be dedicated enough to limit spam from grifters and karma farmers, it's already worse than it's ever been in recent times and I can already imagine how it will be in just a couple weeks.

every hour, someone on huggingface releases a merge. Usually, they're a merge of merged models - so the merge might consist of 3-4 models and each model in the merge is a merge of another 3-4 models.

From such a method, can you ever really get anything exceptional? I see so many and I'm just starting to think that it's worth dismissing them completely out of hand, despite the claims that you read on the model card. There might be slight improvements (usually there are not) but over the course of a long chat, it's barely noticeable

>>105697310
>every hour, someone on huggingface releases a merge
that sounds like the opening to a tearjerker charity drive
>to help, call 1-800-HUG, and stop the senseless merging

>>105697310
I'm confident that almost nobody is doing merges because they think they're useful to others.

>{{random::arg1::arg2}}
I made a quest table using random macro. There's about 20 or so different entries for now. This allows me to randomize the theme every time I do a new chat. It's all happening in the 'first message' slot.

Is there a way to create the string but hide it from the user? He doesn't even need to know what the quest is.

>>105696010
I don't know what LMStudio specifically does by default, but all of the currently existing code for automatically setting the number of GPU layers is very bad.
It's using heuristics for how much VRAM will be used but those heuristics have to be very conservative in order not to OOM, so a lot of performance is left on the table.
Steve's commentary suggests that he is not aware of what the software does internally when there is insufficient VRAM.

The EQBench author added Mistral Small 3.2 to the Creative Writing bench. https://eqbench.com/creative_writing.html
Contrarily to my expectations, the "slop profile" of Mistral Small 3.2 is apparently the closest to DeepSeek-V3-0324.

>>105698645
Huh. Have you double checked your system's power settings? I'm just guessing here but there has to be some reason.

>>105698645
To add - or compare their terminal output.
Server could be using less of your vram by default unless you are directly specifying it with --gpu-layers for example. (so check out task manager for gpu vram usage too).

I'm on Linux. And the only thing I changed was -server instead of -cli.

I noticed than the CPU core were running at approx 80% (I isolated 8 cores for the purpose) in case of the server, while they've been at 100% in case of CLI.

GPU load is the same in both cases.

I see no reason why there should be a difference

>>105693934
I think you don't understand what LLMs are. They don't "decide" and they don't perform "analysis."

llama.cpp is a guaranteed blue screen for me. Even for very small models that take up a fraction of my vram it bsods when I unload the model. Am I missing out on anything if I use ollama?
