At first blush, this looks great to me. Are there limitations with what models it will work with? In particular, can you use this on a lightweight model that will run in 16 Gb RAM to prevent it hallucinating? I’ve experimented a little with running ollama as an NPC AI for Skyrim - I’d love to be able to ask random passers-by if they know where the nearest blacksmith is for instance. It was just far too unreliable, and worse it was always confidently unreliable.
This sounds like it could really help these kinds of uses. Sadly I’m away from home for a while so I don’t know when I’ll get a chance to get back on my home rig.
Is there still a big advantage to using Nvidia GPUs? Is your card Nvidia?
My home machine that I’ve installed ollama on (and which I can’t access in the immediate future) has an AMD card, but I’m now toying with putting it on my laptop, which is very midrange and has Intel Arc graphics (which performs a whole lot better than I was expecting in games)

I never knew LLMs can run on such low-spec machines now! That’s amazing. You said elsewhere you’re using Qwen3-4B (abliterated), and I found a page saying that there are Qwen3 models that will run on “Virtually any modern PC or Mac; integrated graphics are sufficient. Mobile phones”
