A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is inquiring about the possibility of using Vulkan with integrated graphics processors (iGPUs) in conjunction with llama.cpp's "lazy-mode." The user wants to leverage their iGPU's unified memory for larger models like Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, while also streaming parts of the model from an SSD via CPU when the GPU memory is exhausted. However, they are encountering issues where Vulkan appears to attempt loading the entire model into GPU memory, leading to out-of-memory errors even with lazy-mode enabled. AI
