I remember asking for quotes about the Spanish conquest of South America because I couldn't remember who said a specific thing. The GPT model started hallucinating quotes on the topic, while DeepSeek responded with, "I don't know a quote about that specific topic, but you might mean this other thing." or something like that then cited a real quote in the same topic, after acknowledging that it wasn't able to find the one I had read in an old book. i don't use it for coding, but for things that are more unique i feel is more precise.

You would still need drivers and all the stuff difficult with nvidia in linux with a egpu. (Its not nessecarily terrible just suboptimal) Rather just add the second GPU in the Workstation, or just run the llm in your AMD GPU.

Sure, though you'll be bottlenecked by the interconnect speed if you're tiling between system memory and the dGPU memory. That shouldn't be an issue for the 30B model, but would definitely be an issue for the 480B-sized models.

I’m running Ollama on 2 eGPUs over Thunderbolt. Works well for me. You’re still dealing with an NVDIA device, of course. The connection type is not going to change that hassle.

Out of interest, roughly how many tokens per second do you get on that?
