This revamps how we discover GPUs in the system by leveraging the Ollama
runner. This should eliminate inconsistency between our GPU discovery and the
runners capabilities at runtime, particularly for cases where we try to filter
out unsupported GPUs. Now the runner does that implicitly based on the actual
device list. In some cases free VRAM reporting can be unreliable which can
leaad to scheduling mistakes, so this also includes a patch to leverage more
reliable VRAM reporting libraries if available.
Automatic workarounds have been removed as only one GPU leveraged this, which
is now documented. This GPU will soon fall off the support matrix with the next
ROCm bump.
Additional cleanup of the scheduler and discovery packages can be done in the
future once we have switched on the new memory management code, and removed
support for the llama runner.
with #12181, there's now support for embeddings in ollama engine.
this is done by mutating the architecture and adding _embed when it
detects an embedding model. however this introduced a bug where if
an embedding model was run based on an existing ollama engine model
without an embedding implementation, e.g. llama4, it will pass the
initial arch support check but fail when actually loaded.
there's currently two entrypoints to creating a model. previously this
second entrypoint was necessary because calling model.New would also
load the model. since #11818, this is no longer th case so merge them
to reduce complexity
With the addition of cuda v13, on a clean setup, the level of parallelism
was causing docker desktop to become overwhelmed and compilers
were crashing. This limits to 8 parallel per build stage, with the ability
to override if you have many more cores available.
