Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/4354

Originally assigned to: @dhiltgen on GitHub.

What is the issue?

Many models, in particular codegemma 1.1 7b q8_0, don't load for various reasons on versions after 0.1.132. Works fine on 132. I don't have the logs on hand at the moment, but can add them later. The errors relate to out of memory errors and unable to reset the GPU VRAM.

This is using ROCm (ollama distribution of it, from the tar.gz) on AMD RX 6800 XT.

Is there a centralized issue for this already?

This was probably the main issue for this kind of thing: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1952#issuecomment-2105376333

I would probably leave a comment there too. Since you're on AMD, it's not actually related to CUDA, but it sounds like the same fundamental issue. Something in the calculation of how much VRAM the model will use on AMD is probably wrong.

You can manually lower the number of GPU layers being offloaded to the GPU, either by creating a custom Modelfile and importing that, or by setting the right parameter on the requests. If you're using Open WebUI, it's very easy to change that parameter there, for instance. Not convenient, but there should be ways to work around the crashing from out of memory.

Here are the logs:

It seems to be related to either context size or max token size. Will add more info later.

So, I can run the model with a smaller context size/number of tokens to generate, but not higher. I was trying with a context size of 8199 (model forced it), and then the error above occurred, and then ollama started trying to load it repeatedly.

Bit more testing: If I force the context size to 8192 on codegemma v1.1, it crashes with the above error. Leaving it to the defaults seems to work fine. Oddly enough, when loading the model with n_ctx 8192, it showed up as n_ctx 16384 in the ollama logs? o_O

Are you still seeing this behavior on the latest release? I was able to load codegemma with various context sizes on an RX 6800 without hitting oom crashes.

Not this exact issue, but I still run into problems, particularly with longer contexts: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/5741

I actually had to implement a GPU layer downscaling filter for Open Web UI to override num_gpu on ollama crash so I can continue conversations. 🤔

Sorry you're still hitting OOM challenges with large contexts. I've got a PR up to add back a workaround that should make it a little easier to mitigate these defects until we can get them properly fixed - see #5922

That will certainly help. Do you want any logs or test contexts or anything? To diagnose the underlying issues?

I'm going to close this since #5922 was merged, but we can reopen it if you're still hitting it.
