This repo illustrates the use of Ollama with support for Intel ARC GPU based via ipex-llm and Ollama Portable ZIP support. Run the recently released deepseek-r1 model on your local Intel ARC GPU based PC using Linux
All Ollama based ipex-llm defects should be reported directly to the ipex-llm project at https://github.com/intel/ipex-llm
- Ubuntu 24.04 or newer (for Intel ARC GPU kernel driver support. Tested with Ubuntu 24.04.02
- Installed Docker and Docker-compose tools
- Intel ARC series GPU (tested with Intel ARC A770 16GB and Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 5 125H integrated GPU)
The following will build the Ollama with Intel ARC GPU support, and compose those with the public docker image based on OpenWEB UI from https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui
Linux:
$ git clone https://github.com/mattcurf/ollama-intel-gpu
$ cd ollama-intel-gpu
$ docker compose up Note: If you have multiple GPU's installed (like integrated and discrete), set the ONEAPI_DEVICE_DELECTOR environment variable in the docker compose file to select the intended device to use.
Then launch your web browser to http://localhost:3000 to launch the web ui. Create a local OpenWeb UI credential, then click the settings icon in the top right of the screen, then select 'Models', then click 'Show', then download a model like 'llama3.1:8b-instruct-q8_0' for Intel ARC A770 16GB VRAM
To update to the latest portable zip version of IPEX-LLM's Ollama, update the compose file with the build arguments shown below, using the latest ollama-*.tgz release from https://github.com/intel/ipex-llm/releases/tag/v2.2.0-nightly , then rebuild the image.
