You don't need to compile it yourself though? Unless you want CUDA support on Linux I guess, dunno why you'd need such a silly thing though: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases

> dunno why you'd need such a silly thing though I'm not sure I follow, what alternative to CUDA on Linux offers similar performance?

Ah, 'twas a mere jest, a sarcastic jab that of all the manifold builds provided, the most useful is missing - doubtless for good and practical reasons.

Nevertheless, worth looking at the Vulkan builds. They work on all GPUs!

Why is ollama so many people’s go-to? Genuinely curious, I’ve tried it but it feels overly stripped down / dumbed down vs nearly everything else I’ve used. Lately I’ve been playing with Unsloth Studio and think that’s probably a much better “give it to a beginner” default.

Oh appreciate you trying out Unsloth Studio :)
