No llama-server, 9.5 GB free | Generated by AI
No, llama-server is not running. Nothing matching llama at all. The only AI daemon is ollama serve (PID 3339), and it’s idle — not loaded on the GPU.
Current GPU state (RTX 4070, 12 GB):
| MiB | |
|---|---|
| Used | 2367 |
| Free | 9473 |
And the 2.3 GB used is not AI — it’s all desktop/graphics:
- Xorg: 1430 MiB (biggest)
- warp-terminal: 204 MiB
- zed-editor: 191 MiB
- browsers / gnome-shell / nautilus etc.: rest
So there’s nothing to kill for your use case — you actually have ~9.5 GB free, which is plenty. Your large-v3 fp16 transcription needs only ~3.2 GB (or ~1.1 GB with --compute-type int8). The --low-memory rewrite fits easily.
If you still want headroom, the only meaningful targets would be closing browser/zed/warp-terminal tabs (they’re the desktop apps eating VRAM), but it’s not necessary for the whisper run.
