IPEX-LLM
IPEX-LLM is a PyTorch library for running LLM on Intel CPU and GPU (e.g., local PC with iGPU, discrete GPU such as Arc A-Series, Flex and Max) with very low latency.
IPEX-LLM supports accelerated Ollama backend to be hosted on Intel GPU. Refer to this guide from IPEX-LLM official documentation about how to install and run Ollama serve accelerated by IPEX-LLM on Intel GPU. You can then configure Continue to use the IPEX-LLM accelerated "ollama"
provider as follows:
{
"models": [
{
"title": "IPEX-LLM",
"provider": "ollama",
"model": "AUTODETECT"
}
]
}
If you would like to reach the Ollama service from another machine, make sure you set or export the environment variable OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0
before executing the command ollama serve
. Then, in the Continue configuration, set 'apiBase'
to correspond with the IP address / port of the remote machine. That is, Continue can be configured to be:
{
"models": [
{
"title": "IPEX-LLM",
"provider": "ollama",
"model": "AUTODETECT",
"apiBase": "http://your-ollama-service-ip:11434"
}
]
}
If you would like to preload the model before your first conversation with that model in Continue, you could refer to here for more information.
