What is the issue?

I was trying to use Ollama (installed from homebrew) but then I quickly noticed that it wasn't running as well as it should, only to then find out ollama doesn't pick up my GPU. I expected it to split the load as it normally does, especially as I'm running an atomic distribution with all the necessary Nvidia libraries preinstalled, and as other software (such as the natively installed RamaLama) has no problem picking up CUDA. I thought it might be a weird one off as I was running the DX image that's still on F43, but it also happened on the standard image that updated to F44. I filed a bug report to homebrew but they said I should report it to upstream to ask if there's something they need to change in the brew formulae.
