iMac Intel with AMD eGPU for LLMs
I wanted to leverage my AMD eGPU to run LLMs locally on my iMac with an intel I9 processor. I have tried everything from modifying global variables in ollama to using docker images. The small hope I had was with LMstudio; however, that application doesn't, and probably will never, support intel based Macs since Apple has begun their 'hardware war' with Nvidia and AMD smh. Does anyone have any suggestions how I could leverage any gpu (internal or external) for running a local LLM on my intel based iMac or is this a fruitless endeavor?
