Bug: Model isn't loading

[iladshyan]

What happened?

llama3.1 isn't loading at all. I get following in the terminal and the program just quits.:

./llama-cli -m "C:\<path>\llama3.1.gguf" -p "The world is a place where"
build: 3787 (6026da52) with MSVC 19.29.30154.0 for x64
main: llama backend init
main: load the model and apply lora adapter, if any

Name and Version

./llama-cli --version
version: 3787 (6026da5)
built with MSVC 19.29.30154.0 for x64

What operating system are you seeing the problem on?

Windows

Relevant log output

I'm also facing same issue. Tried updating to 3803 but didn't help.

By any chance you are migrating from Ollama? If not where did you get your model files?

I downloaded GGUF from huggingface: https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-GGUF

I tried to run this exactly model: https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-GGUF/blob/main/Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-IQ2_M.gguf on UBUNTU and I got the problem of memory:

ggml/src/ggml.c:438: fatal error
ggml_aligned_malloc: insufficient memory (attempted to allocate 49152,00 MB)

probably the memory allocator is "over allocing" memory.

I tried a bigger model (in parameters) https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-13B-GGUF/blob/main/llama-2-13b.Q2_K.gguf and the model ran normally with almost no extra memory

@salocinrevenge add -c 1024 to the command line to use a smaller context size.

@ggerganov we keep getting bug reports because people don't realize that they cannot use the full context of current models. Should we revert this change?

Did anyone find a fix for the original issue?

[iladshyan]

I found out what was causing the issue. I was using the avx2 version while my CPU only supports avx. Changing it fixed it. It would be great if the program could inform the user of unsupported version.
