Ollama, the open-source platform for running large language models locally, has released version 0.12.11 featuring Vulkan acceleration. This new capability promises potential performance and efficiency improvements for users running Ollama, especially those with Vulkan-compatible hardware. The update was highlighted in a Reddit post by user /u/Fcking_Chuck, signaling growing interest in optimizing local LLM performance. Vulkan’s low-level API allows for more direct control over the GPU, potentially unlocking greater efficiency in model inference.
