What is the issue?

Hey,

Happy holidays 😍!!!

I just came across with Ollama version update, then saw some files are being downloaded, I noticed that few dll libraries are being download, So i just cross checked the folder there are 7 files(Specifically starting with cuda* or cublas* ) and in runners folder as well, have downloaded. But these are for GPU acceleration, since i am with CPU only, is their a way to ignore these files or is their a way to do a system check just before installing the Ollama so can ignore while installing itself, so it can reduce 2.8GB of space for CPU users?

Folder is:

  1. Taking around 880M: C:\Users[USER}\AppData\Local\Programs\Ollama\lib\ollama

  1. Taking around 2GB: C:\Users[USER]\AppData\Local\Programs\Ollama\lib\ollama\runners

Thank you
From GPU Poor 😅
