Llamafile 0.8.1 GPU LLM Offloading Works Now With More AMD GPUs


It was just a few days ago that Llamafile 0.8 released with LLaMA 3 and Grok support along with faster F16 performance

Now this project out of Mozilla for self-contained, easily re-distributable large language model (LLM) deployments is out with a new release. In turn this would error out and break Llamafile GPU acceleration on AMD GPUs having non-numeric characters as part of their GFX identifier. That's now fixed up with Llamafile 0.8.1 and thus AMD GPU acceleration working on more hardware for Llamafile-based large language model deployments.
