Segmentation fault

Tried to run the 7b Alpaca Model on my Raspberry Pi 3, but getting a Segmentation Fault every time. Compiled from source code. The RP3 has 4 GBs of RAM, is that the problem?

Same here, segmentation fault, but on an old Linux x86_64 elitebook laptop. In this case it was -mavx causing the error.
This compiles, but it runs pretty slow without mavx: ggerganov#107

same problem here. working with a aws ec2. having the problem even without building from source. The file size is 4.0GB? may be the problem...

Hello, I also have the same issue with a Raspberry Pi 4, 4GB

I'm not sure the file size is the issue, as this blog got it working for a RPi 5 also with the same 4GB of RAM.

Might want to trim down any running processes, also. Running non-graphical session, perhaps?

[yaozakai]

Yeah so I run headless. I ended up using a 2-bit model instead that was 2+GB in size and it seemed to work.
