ollama - 💡(How to fix) Fix Cloud-only binaries [1 participants]

TL;DR

Consider requesting or creating a stripped-down version of the ollama binary that excludes unnecessary GPU runtimes to reduce bandwidth and disk space usage.

Guidance

• Identify the specific GPU runtimes that are not needed for local LLM execution to determine what can be safely removed.
• Explore the possibility of configuring ollama to exclude these runtimes during installation or runtime.
• Review related issues (#6531, #9504, #12268) to see if they provide any insights or solutions that can be applied to this use case.
• Investigate if there are any existing options or flags that can be used to minimize the download and installation of unnecessary components.

Notes

The feasibility of creating a stripped-down binary may depend on the complexity of the ollama codebase and the dependencies required for local LLM execution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Request or create a custom ollama binary that excludes unnecessary GPU runtimes, as this approach can help reduce bandwidth and disk space usage without waiting for an official fix.
