Tried the same thing in Asahi but without macOS’ memory management and access to GPU acceleration, it just wasn’t feasible.

Thank you for sharing this result. I knew Asahi's memory management wasn't as robust (so I got a 24GB RAM M2 unit to overcome this).

For your macOS Ollama implementation are you able to leverage the NPU in the hardware (which I know is also unavailable so far in Asahi)?

I actually have no idea how it all works. It just does.

Asahi is incredible for general use computing on M1/2 machines, and perhaps even in use as a general purpose home server. But it's still very much a fun exercise in what might be possible rather than a solid option, in my opinion.
