The only problem I really have, is context size. It’s harder to get larger than 8k context size and maintain decent generation speed with 16 GB of VRAM and 16 GB of RAM. Gonna get more RAM at some point though, and hope ollama/llamacpp gets better at memory management. Hopefully the distributed running from llamaccp ends up in ollama.
How much speed are you actually getting on Mixtral (I assume that’s the 8x7b). I have 64 GB of RAM and an AMD RX 6800 XT with 16 GB of VRAM. I get like 4 tokens per second with Q5_K_M quant.
