This change fixes the handling of keep_alive so that if client
request omits the setting, we only set this on initial load. Once
the model is loaded, if new requests leave this unset, we'll keep
whatever keep_alive was there.
Users may not realize the siny new model they're trying to load
fits on their disk, but can't load into system+GPU memory. Today
we crash, but with this fix, we'll give them a better error message
before even trying to load it.
Previously, some costly things were causing the loading of GGUF files
and their metadata and tensor information to be VERY slow:
* Too many allocations when decoding strings
* Hitting disk for each read of each key and value, resulting in a
not-okay amount of syscalls/disk I/O.
The show API is now down to 33ms from 800ms+ for llama3 on a macbook pro
m3.
This commit also prevents collecting large arrays of values when
decoding GGUFs (if desired). When such keys are encountered, their
values are null, and are encoded as such in JSON.
Also, this fixes a broken test that was not encoding valid GGUF.
This adjusts our default settings to enable multiple models and parallel
requests to a single model. Users can still override these by the same
env var settings as before. Parallel has a direct impact on
num_ctx, which in turn can have a significant impact on small VRAM GPUs
so this change also refines the algorithm so that when parallel is not
explicitly set by the user, we try to find a reasonable default that fits
the model on their GPU(s). As before, multiple models will only load
concurrently if they fully fit in VRAM.
Still not complete, needs some refinement to our prediction to understand the
discrete GPUs available space so we can see how many layers fit in each one
since we can't split one layer across multiple GPUs we can't treat free space
as one logical block
This moves all the env var reading into one central module
and logs the loaded config once at startup which should
help in troubleshooting user server logs
Prior refactoring passes accidentally removed the logic to bypass VRAM
checks for CPU loads. This adds that back, along with test coverage.
This also fixes loaded map access in the unit test to be behind the mutex which was
likely the cause of various flakes in the tests.
This change adds support for multiple concurrent requests, as well as
loading multiple models by spawning multiple runners. The default
settings are currently set at 1 concurrent request per model and only 1
loaded model at a time, but these can be adjusted by setting
OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL and OLLAMA_MAX_LOADED_MODELS.
