I have deployed Llama 3.1 70B and Llama 3.1 8B on my system and it works perfectly for the 8B model. When I tested it for 70B, it underutilized the GPU and took a lot of time to respond. Here are the system details:

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x, RAM: 48g ddr4 2400, SSD: NVME m.2, GPU: RTX 3060 ti, Motherboard: B550 M:

Here is how I deployed Llama 3.1 on the machine:

  1. Pull the LLaMA Docker Image: Pull the LLaMA Docker image (in this case, ollama/ollama):

    sudo docker pull ollama/ollama
    

    This test was successful.

  2. Test GPU Access: You can test GPU access by running a CUDA base image to confirm that Docker recognizes your GPU:

    sudo docker run --rm nvidia/cuda:11.8.0-base-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi
    
  3. Run the LLaMA Container: Run the LLaMA container with GPU access, mapping the host port to the container’s port without additional environment variables:

    sudo docker run -d --gpus all -p 11434:11434 --name cybersage-lama ollama/ollama
    

I am not sure why it is underutilizing the GPU and everything is going slow.

  1. You need ~148GB of VRAM to run a 70B unquantised model (16FP). And ~ 48GB to run an INT4 quantised model.

    You can see from the logs that 10 out of the 81 layers are in the GPU.

    llm_load_tensors: offloading 10 repeating layers to GPU
    llm_load_tensors: offloaded 10/81 layers to GPU
    

    The other layers will run in the CPU, and thus the slowness and low GPU use.

    I can see that the total model is using ~45GB of ram (5 in the GPU and 40 on the CPU), so I reckon you are running an INT4 quantised model). You can see some of this in the logs you shared

    llm_load_tensors:        CPU buffer size = 40543.11 MiB
    llm_load_tensors:      CUDA0 buffer size =  5188.75 MiB
    

    To know the amount of memory required multiply the number of parameters by the size of weight.
    16FP is 2 bytes so ~ 140GB. INT4 is 0.5 bytes = ~35GB. In practice one needs more than the bare minimum to run the model.

  2. Happened to me once, I think you’d need to improve the memory for the 70B model since it requires significantly more GPU memory than the 8B model.

    FYI Your RTX 3060 Ti has only 8 GB of VRAM, and the log indicates that only 10 layers of the 70B model are offloaded to the GPU, hence the rest run on the CPU.. Your options are switching to a GPU with bigger RAM or using a smaller model.
