Crudely drawn drawing of a person telling a computer “say ‘i am in pain’”. The computer replies with “> I AM IN PAIN”. The person then says “oh my god.”

The model loading.
Weird that it counts those together. Pi shows “Waiting…” for model loading and prompt processing, and “Thinking…” for reasoning
It’s Llama swap and I barely know how to use it.
I use Pi (the frontend) with llama.cpp in router mode. You put it in router mode by passing
--models-dirinstead of-mI’ll have to figure this out. In llama swap the model unloads after a time to live which I’ve set to 300 seconds. I don’t know if the model consumes more power just sitting on memory or not but it makes sense to me to just let it stay loaded until I need to use my computer instead if it.
I haven’t noticed models using power idle, just a ton of memory.
No harm in keeping a model in memory, unless you plan to use that memory for something else. Unused memory is wasted memory
