Fix DeviceLostError

in Ollama

Solution

DeviceLostError in Ollama often indicates the GPU device was reset or unavailable, typically due to driver issues, excessive memory pressure, or hardware instability. Try updating your GPU drivers to the latest stable version, reducing the `gpu_layers` parameter in your Modelfile to decrease GPU memory usage, or try a different GPU if available. If the issue persists, investigate potential hardware problems.
