  2. LLM truncation in KoAssistant/Ollama is causing my prompt to be cut off.

    The Fix:
    1️⃣ Move from large models (e.g., 26B) to mid-size (e.g., 12B) to free up VRAM.
    2️⃣ Create a Modelfile with PARAMETER num_ctx 32768.
    3️⃣ Rebuild: ollama create model-name -f Modelfile.

    This balances intelligence and context, letting your RAG prompts actually reach the model! 🚀 #Ollama #LLM #LocalAI #KoReader #OpenSource #RAG #LocalLLM

  3. Struggling with LLM truncation in KoAssistant/Ollama? 🛠️ If your prompt is being cut off, you're likely hitting VRAM limits.

    The Fix:
    1️⃣ Move from large models (e.g., 26B) to mid-size (e.g., 12B) to free up VRAM.
    2️⃣ Create a Modelfile with PARAMETER num_ctx 32768.
    3️⃣ Rebuild: ollama create model-name -f Modelfile.

  4. Как собрать персональную wiki без Claude Code

    Идея Andrej Karpathy с LLM-wiki набирает сторонников. На Хабре уже было несколько публикаций ( 1 , 2 , 3 ), в том числе и моя про сравнение LLM-wiki и RAG-системы. Ещё больше статей я нашёл на medium . У вас есть Claude Code? Собрать персональную википедию можно менее чем за час. А что делать, если Claude Code и ему подобные инструменты по разным причинам недоступны? Можно ли алгоритмизировать процесс и использовать «слабые» модели? На сколько получившаяся структура будет хуже и как их сравнивать? В статье попробую ответить на эти вопросы, а также расскажу как построить персональную wiki на Ollama или GPT-моделях.

  5. A quick and dirty comparison of llama.cpp with ollama. The model used is `gemma4:e2b` and the prompt is a simple 'hi'. Thinking mode is on. Running the direct CLI mode for both.

    * llama.cpp: `Generation: 12.5 t/s`
    * ollama: `eval rate: 10.17 tokens/s`

    This matches the expect 20%-25% speed up which is generally reported. Your milage may vary! 🙂

  14. Hab mir im Februar ein mit und 128GB RAM gekauft... Für verrückte fast 4100€... Und ich dachte mir das ist der größte finanzielle Fehler ever

    Hab damit dann viel gehostet - Experimentarium

    Habs sogar ein paar Monaten nur mit den eigenen LLMs gecodet, aber Qualität naja...

    Da sich die letzten Monate das Business geändert hat und keine 120b Modelle veröffentlicht werden, die der perfekte fit dafür wären, nutze ich die 30b Modelle...

    Leider mit zunehmendem Frust... und sind dafür einfach zu klein...

    Dann bringt qwen auch nach 3.6 keine kleinen Modelle mehr raus - es gab kein 3.7 und kein 3.8 - letztes haben sie wieder man angekündigt

    Bedeutet der Mac Studio war eigentlich nur als Desktop PC im Einsatz - eher und programmierworkstation

    Dann hab ich mich mal schlau gemacht - hat meine 128gb Version zum frontier Modell gemacht - und die Modelle sind nirgendwo zu bekommen... Ganz merkwürdig Markt leer gesaugt
    Vllt bringt Apple bald neue Mac Studio Modell raus???

    Okay - eBay preise abgecheckt - da gehen Modell für über 5k€ über den Tisch, aber sehr selten die 128gb Variante

    eBay inseriert - 6999,99€ sofort kauf oder Preisvorschlag ab 6000€

    Hab das Ding jetzt für 6200€ weiter verkauft

    Leider über eBay bezahlt, deshalb wird mein Gewinn versteuert, aber ich gönne

    Ist das nicht krass? Was da abgeht, das ist so verrückt auf dem Gebrauch Mac Markt!

  18. For: Linux distro developers
    Subject: Building Vulkan ollama from source

    I've been working on my own Linux distro [Laclin] for 30 years.

    This week, I managed to get a #Vulkan copy of #ollama to build in my distro. This post is a high-level overview of the process for other distro developers. Note: "Vulkan" means that it only works for some chipsets but it works out of the box in those cases.

    Advisory: Builds from source are straight-forward in standard distros. If you're creating a non-standard distro from source, the process isn't for the faint-hearted. New packages can mean the need to juggle a dozen pieces.

    "ollama" dependencies include the following packages. If your distro breaks packages into production and devel versions, the devel versions are needed.

    bzip2, cmake, elfutils, eudev, expat, gcc [or clang], git, go, make, ncurses, pkgconf, python3, xorg, xzutils, zlib, zstd

    To build "ollama" from source, you need to collect sources for the following pieces and get each of them to build separately.

    xorg - You need to build "libvulkan_*.so" libraries [note the underscore] and install Vulkan ICD "*.json" files. These steps are part of the build of the "xorg" Mesa component, so you might find that they've already been done.

    glslang - This needs to be installed as a separate package and also as a source tree that goes into the "shaderc" source tree. The build per se is simple "cmake".

    git repo: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang.git

    spirv-headers - This needs to be installed as a separate package and also as a source tree that goes into the "spirv-tools" source tree. The build per se is simple "cmake".

    git repo: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Headers.git

    spirv-tools - You need to add a copy of the "spirv-headers" source tree to this source tree. The build per se is simple "cmake".

    git repo: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools.git

    shaderc - You need to add copies of the "glslang" and "spirv-tools" source trees to this source tree. The build per se is simple "cmake".

    For this package, I recommend that you add the following "cmake" option setting:
    -DSHADERC_SKIP_TESTS=ON

    git repo: https://github.com/google/shaderc.git

    vulkan-headers - The build for this package is simple "cmake".

    git repo: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Headers.git

    vulkan-loader - This package provides a high-level Vulkan library named "libvulkan.so". That file is separate from the "libvulkan_*.so" files mentioned above. The build is simple "cmake".

    git repo: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader.git

    vulkan-sdk - I didn't use upstream sources directly for this package. In my version:

    • There is a "bin" directory. It contains symlinks to the "glslang" and "glslangValidator" executables in the "glslang" package.

    • There are "include" and "share" directories. These are simply the corresponding "vulkan-headers" directories. "vulkan-headers" is installed to the "vulkan-sdk" prefix.

    • There is a "lib" directory. It is simply the "vulkan-loader" lib directory. "vulkan-loader" is installed to the "vulkan-sdk" prefix. Symlinks to the "xorg" "libvulkan_*.so" library files are added to the "lib" directory.

    ollama - This is the tricky package in the list.

    git repo: https://github.com/ollama/ollama.git

    The build procedure for "ollama" looks roughly like this:

    # Path to desired "ollama" prefix directory
    PP=/somewhere/ollama
    rm -fr $PP
    
    BINDIR=$PP/bin
    DATADIR=$PP/data
    LIBDIR=$PP/lib
    mkdir -p $BINDIR $DATADIR $LIBDIR
    
    # Path to "spirv-headers" prefix directory
    export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/somewhere/spirv-headers
    
    # Path to "vulkan-sdk" prefix directory
    export VULKAN_SDK=/somewhere/vulkan-sdk
    
    # Path to "xorg" prefix directory [export isn't needed]
    XORG_PREFIX=/somewhere/xorg
    
    rm -fr ollama
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ollama/ollama.git 
    cd ollama
    
    go generate ./...
    pushd llama/server/
    cmake -DGGML_VULKAN=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
    make -j$(nproc)
    popd
    go build
    
    mv ollama $BINDIR/
    mv llama/server/bin/*.so* $LIBDIR/
    mv llama/server/bin/* $BINDIR/
    cp -p $XORG_PREFIX/share/vulkan/icd.d/*.json $DATADIR/

    Installation of LLM models and how to run the "ollama" server and client is/are beyond the scope of these notes.

    Here's one tip related to that: At runtime, you'll need to add the BINDIR and LIBDIR settings indicated above to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH [respectively]. In "bash", the latter two environment variables should also exported using "export".

  20. Subject: Diversity and historical truth

    Image: Hitler SS troops carrying watermelons. This was created using GenAI. The context is explained below. [Hold criticism of the use of GenAI as the point is related to GenAI itself.]

    I've added #ollama to my Linux distro. My distro now supports offline LLMs out of the box for laptops with some chipsets. No setup steps are needed. It just works.

    However, I'm not impressed with the offline LLMs that I've tried so far.

    I showed Bonsai Kitten of Gentoo some output from Mistral Instruct tonight. [Mistral Instruct is an LLM that I tested in "ollama".] He offered a few comments that made me chuckle. So, here's part of the discussion.

    The term "SS" is a World War II term. "SS" refers to Adolf Hitler's Schutzstaffel troops. The Schutzstaffel were the #ICE of the 1930s to 1940s.

    <xiaomiao> it has good grammar and is using words that seem to be "reasonable"
    <OldCoder> It's trite. It would never fool anybody.
    <xiaomiao> so it is roughly on the level of the average middle manager ;)
    <OldCoder> If you used this in business, that would be bad.
    <xiaomiao> you overestimate people - I've seen a lot of them outsource all thinking to LLMs
    <xiaomiao> almost as if thinking hurt

    <xiaomiao> there's a lot of weird AI slop [on YouTube] now
    <xiaomiao> text-to-speech has become good enough
    <xiaomiao> but you can easily recognize it - no californian pronounces danish words correctly
    <xiaomiao> still, that voice ... sigh ... I would prefer to never hear it again

    * OldCoder favorite is the World War II video that looked realistic...
    <OldCoder> [AI] Footage of a Japanese warship
    <OldCoder> On the deck, there was a U.S. commander directing the attack on Pearl Harbor.
    <OldCoder> The editors didn't catch it.

    <xiaomiao> ah yes
    <xiaomiao> early days of AI image generation ... everyone had The Smile
    <xiaomiao> y'know, only USians do this weird "show as much teeth as possible" creepy smile

    <xiaomiao> and then google added filtering so you couldn't get only white people. enforced diversity!
    <xiaomiao> SS troops now have mexicans and black people, to balance things
    <OldCoder> For real?

    <xiaomiao> people figured out a workaround: [they added] "with watermelons"
    <xiaomiao> which removed all black people because we're not racist! Nein, ve are NOTT.
    <OldCoder> The videos have watermelons?
    <xiaomiao> yes!
    <OldCoder> The SS carries them?
    <OldCoder> Isn't that historically inaccurate?
    <xiaomiao> yeah why not

    <xiaomiao> diversity is strength! every space requires diversity ;)
    <xiaomiao> from that follows that adding "minorities" is the correct thing to do

    <OldCoder> I'm thinking about take-aways.
    <OldCoder> AI might make Orwell's vision more likely.
    <OldCoder> People know that AI videos are fake...
    <OldCoder> But perhaps they'll be treated as "the truth" [in a sense] "now that we know it".
    <OldCoder> No reality.

    I asked an LLM about this. The LLM responded:

    "Yes, it's true that [Google's Gemini] implemented aggressive diversity-enforcing constraints that frequently injected Black, Indigenous, or other people of color into contexts where they were historically inaccurate."

    "[It's also true] that user experimentation revealed certain prompt changes or offensive tropes, such as adding stereotypical modifiers, could alter or subvert these hardcoded demographic filters."

    <OldCoder> The editors didn't catch it.

    <xiaomiao> ah yes
    <xiaomiao> early days of AI image generation ... everyone had The Smile
    <xiaomiao> y'know, only USians do this weird "show as much teeth as possible" creepy smile

    <xiaomiao> and then google added filtering so you couldn't get only white people. enforced diversity!
    <xiaomiao> SS troops now have mexicans and black people, to balance things
    <OldCoder> For real?

    <xiaomiao> people figured out a workaround: [they added] "with watermelons"
    <xiaomiao> which removed all black people because we're not racist! Nein, ve are NOTT.
    <OldCoder> The videos have watermelons?
    <xiaomiao> yes!
    <OldCoder> The SS carries them?
    <OldCoder> Isn't that historically inaccurate?
    <xiaomiao> yeah why not

    <xiaomiao> diversity is strength! every space requires diversity ;)
    <xiaomiao> from that follows that adding "minorities" is the correct thing to do

    <OldCoder> I'm thinking about take-aways.
    <OldCoder> AI might make Orwell's vision more likely.
    <OldCoder> People know that AI videos are fake...
    <OldCoder> But perhaps they'll be treated as "the truth" [in a sense] "now that we know it".
    <OldCoder> No reality.

    I asked an LLM about this. The LLM responded:

    "Yes, it's true that [Google's Gemini] implemented aggressive diversity-enforcing constraints that frequently injected Black, Indigenous, or other people of color into contexts where they were historically inaccurate."

    "[It's also true] that user experimentation revealed certain prompt changes or offensive tropes, such as adding stereotypical modifiers, could alter or subvert these hardcoded demographic filters."

  24. Do we really hate #LLMs this much? That we would go through a public flogging and the self-flagellation of one Hank Green? For using #AI for looking up some papers? I will never pay for a commercial LLM, anymore than I will use a commercial social media (other than YouTube, you got me... tell me who is perfect I'm a little google using biatch.) Because there is honestly no reason because #Ollama

    My point is, we are having public morality plays about this tiny piffle?

  28. Как я Zabbix с LLM дружил в свободное время. Архитектурный обзор взаимодействия с нейросетью. Часть 4 «Реализация»

    Это заключительная статья цикла о том, как я пытался сделать алерты Zabbix в домашней лаборатории чуть умнее, прикрутив к ним локальную LLM и не получить на выходе архитектурного монстра Франкенштейна. В первой и второй частях мы разобрались с постановкой задачи и выбрали себе фаворита из локальных LLM, в третьей — занимались скучным проектированием HLD и LLD. Теперь же переходим к самому интересному — прикладному материалу. В этой статье рассмотрим, что получилось, когда архитектурный каркас начали последовательно превращать в рабочий self-hosted сервис в коде, и с какими узкими местами пришлось столкнуться в процессе. DISCLAIMER: к сожалению, выпуск задержался, ведь основное место работы отнимает огромное количество времени, только отпуск позволяет вернуться к личным проектам. Часть 1: Вводная и формирование ТЗ Часть 2: Выбор локальной LLM Часть 3: Формирование HLD и немного LLD Часть 4: Что из этого вышло (Вы здесь)
