An update on my endeavour: so, model switching is very costly under llama.cpp (I have to switch between Llama and Phi2 because my GPU has low amounts of VRAM). And this switch (reloading the weights into VRAM) defeats the whole purpose of the optimization. Having only Llama on GPU without reloading takes less time than if I'd use Llama+Phi2. And Phi2 alone is pretty bad as a general purpose LLM. So I'm quite disappointed.
- lobocinza 3y agoI recently upgraded to AM5 and as I have an AMD GPU I'm using llama.cpp on CPU only and I was positively surprised by how fast it generate stuff. I don't have the case of massive workloads so YMMV.
