Glad i could help ;)

You can get different results, sometimes better sometimes worse, most of the time differently phrased (e.g. the gemma models by google like to do bulletlists and sometimes tell me where they got that information from). There are models specifically trained / finetuned for different tasks (mostly coding, but also writing stories, answering medical questions, telling me what is on a picture, speaking different languages, running on smaller / bigger hardware, etc.). Have a look at ollamas library of models which is outright tiny compared to e.g. huggingface.

Also, i don’t trust OpenAI and others to be confidential with company data or explicit code snippets from work i feed them.

If you’re lucky you just set it to the wrong version, mine uses 10.3.0 (see below).

I tried running the docker container first as well but gave up since there are seperate versions for cuda and rocm which comes packaged with this as well and therefor gets unnecessary big.

I am running it on Fedora natively. I installed it with the setup script from the top of the docs:

curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

After that i created a service file (also stated in the linked docs) so that it starts at boot time (so i can just boot my pc and forget it without needing to login).

The crucial part for the GPU in question (RX 6700XT) was this line under the [service] section:

Environment="HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0"

As you stated, this sets the environment variable for rocm. Also to be able to reach it from outside of localhost (for my server):

Environment="OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0"

I have my gaming pc running as ollama host when i need it (RX 6700XT with rocm doing the heavy lifting). PC idles at ~50W and draws up to 200W when generating an answer. It is plenty fast though.

My mini pc home server is running openwebui with access to this “ollama instance” but also OpenAIs api when i just need a quick answer and therefor don’t turn on my pc.

+1 for Trackmania. Very sad that the most recent game is published by ubishit, who kind of made a live service game out of it (different tiers of access, starting at 10 bucks a year)

I hope it went well :) i was completely ready to go back changing the image tag to v2 but didn’t need to.

I have a tendency of nuking my system now and then and therefor have a pretty solid strategy for fresh installs.

I’d recommend you think of something like that as well and then just do the upgrade. If it breaks, you’ll still be able to do the fresh install.

Coming to germany as well if you believe our minister of transport. But he only tells this to scare the public.

Let’s hope that this is not a productive system. I want to say that you’d have to try hard to do something that stupid, but then again, knowing from myself, you can cause a lot of trouble with a single command in a cli somewhere.

Im so looking forward to this. When i tried to use tmpfs / ramdisk, the transcoding would simply stop because there was no space left.

In my case it’s more like something from the 400 range

Yes, since we have similar gpus you could try the following to run it in a docker container on linux, taken from here and slightly modified:

#!/bin/bash

model=microsoft/phi-2
# share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run
volume=/data

docker run -e HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 -e PYTORCH_ROCM_ARCH="gfx1031" --device /dev/kfd --device /dev/dri --shm-size 1g -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.4-rocm --model-id $model

Note how the rocm version has a different tag and that you need to mount your gpu device into the container. The two environment variables are specific to my (any maybe yours also) gpu architecture. It will need a while to download though.

Huggingface TGI is just a piece of software handling the models, like gpt4all. Here is a list of models officially supported by TGI, although they state that you can try different ones as well. You follow the link and look for the files section. The size of the model files (safetensors or pickele binaries) gives a good estimate of how much vram you will need. Sadly this is more than most consumer graphics cards have except for santacoder and microsoft phi.

I tried Huggingface TGI yesterday, but all of the reasonable models need at least 16 gigs of vram. The only model i got working (on a desktop machine with a amd 6700xt gpu) was microsoft phi-2.

I have a 5800X processor and 6700XT GPU which the site claims is barely ok. In reality my CPU is hardly ever doing anything when gaming while the GPU is at 100% usage all the time.

For a higher GPU, like the 7900XT (which i believe will have the power of a speculative 8800XT which i want to buy) the site claims the CPU to be the bottleneck.

Now i know that there is more to it than just the usage in the control center, but does this seem sketchy to someone else?

I recently bought a second external drive to do a backup of the first one. In the process I’m going to switch to btrfs. It can do data scrubbing which allows for self repair of corrupted data, which can occur if you leave a drive unpowered in a closet for some years.

And if you buy a pc with windows preinstalled, remove any anti virus software free trial bullshit that cones with it. Just use Windows defender as it is already enough for most use cases

Nope, theres a .rar file with 61mb.

This is a great idea. I have only arctic case fans and now my gpu is as well the only audible source of noise inside my system.

Did you have to change the cables/plugs of the fans or did you get an adapter of some kind?
