3 use cases
-
Run a local 262K-context model server on a 24 GB card
Build llama-server for an RTX 3090 and serve Qwen3.8-27B on a local OpenAI-compatible API.
- Llam Ampere
- Software and DevOps
- Intermediate
View prompt
In the llamAmpere repo at <repo path>, build llama-server with the SM86 CMake settings and start it with the tq5_0/turbo4 command from the README. Send one chat request to http://127.0.0.1:8080 with the prompt <test prompt>, and report the reply text and the HTTP status. Verify that the server accepted a context size of 262144.
-
Run 204,800-token context on a 12 GB card
Serve a 2.3 bpw Qwen3.8 model with SJ-KVaRN cache on an RTX 3060 12 GB or similar card.

View prompt
In the llamAmpere repo at <repo path>, build llama-server and start the 2.3 bpw 12 GB command from the README on a 12 GB card. Send a prompt of about <token count> tokens to the local server and report the reply plus the peak GPU memory from nvidia-smi. Verify that the context setting is 204800.
-
Speed up repeat evals with a prebuilt prompt cache
Point llama-server at a read-only prompt cache folder so long eval prompts skip re-reading.

View prompt
In the llamAmpere repo at <repo path>, start llama-server with the Swift 1.5 model and `--eval-cache <cache directory>`. Run the eval prompts in <eval file> twice at temperature 0 and report the time of each run and whether the two outputs match. Verify that the second run is faster and that the outputs are identical.
How to use Llam Ampere
- Check you have what it needs: Linux machine with an NVIDIA card (RTX 3090 or 3090 Ti with 24 GB for the main path, or a 12 GB card for the low-memory path); CUDA toolkit (the README tested with 12.4), CMake, git and a C++ compiler; Disk space and network access for the model download: 15.6 GB for the 24 GB path, 9.0 GB for the 12 GB path.
- Open JakeATX/llamAmpere on GitHub and read the README and license.
