Hi, I just started with Ollama and local LLMs. Looking for a GPU I found the Mi50 could be a sweet spot to start, because it costs half of the Mi100. But as for the software support the Mi50 got dropped in ROCm. That kind of "vendor lock" is similar to CUDA in my eyes. So paying double the price for the Mi100 and waiting to get that dropped as well? Is the Mi50 still worth and which workarounds on Linux do you use for it and for Ollama? I could run some ROCm 6.x like 6.3.3 in a Docker container, as I use Ollama in a container anyway. I could replace ROCm by Vulkan. Ollama supports it. But that might be even slower than ROCm, is it? Is that all worth purchasing a Mi50 as starting kit? submitted by /u/m4smss [link] [comments]
