Will this run on CPU? (as opposed to GPU)

Why would you want to? It's like using a hammer for screws.

To maximise the VRAM available for an LLM on the same machine. That's why I asked myself the same question, anyway.

CPU compute is infinity times less expensive and much easier to work with in general

Less expensive how? The reason GPUs are used is because they are more efficient. You CAN run matmul on CPUs for sure, but it's going to be much slower and take a ton more electricity. So to claim it's "less expensive" is weird.
