Thanks for this link. Because of this article, I had claude stand up a llama.cpp container next to my already running ollama container. It ran side by side tests with the same model and parameters, and the results blew ollama out of the water. I'm in the process of moving hermes and openwebgui over to the llama.cpp instance to see how it goes day to day.
If you’re using docker anyway, and “fast” pure GPU models, you might try a vllm container while you’re at it.
It should be much faster than even llama.cpp, albeit at the cost of context length, and it supports some exotic 4-bit quantization like SPQA.
Same with TabbyAPI. It’s quantization is SOTA, though it does not support CPU offloading, and it’s speed is somewhere between vllm and llama.cpp.
Thanks! I'll look into this. I'm a bit limited at 12GB of VRAM right now.
A 3060?
Exllama/TabbyAPI is still worth looking at if you are trying to run a model purely in GPU RAM. It’s easily the most VRAM efficient backend, it just doesn’t support CPU offloading (which is useful for MoEs if you have considerable spare CPU RAM) and more optimized for 4xxx and up Nvidia cards.
And TabbyAPI has a docker container you can use. Look for “exl3” models on huggingface.
