How to use Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct with Docker Model Runner:
docker model run hf.co/Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct
RuntimeError: MPS backend out of memory.
Hello,
I get this error when running on my mac m3:
RuntimeError: MPS backend out of memory (MPS allocated: 45.50 GB, other allocations: 12.22 GB, max allowed: 61.20 GB). Tried to allocate 12.20 GB on private pool. Use PYTORCH_MPS_HIGH_WATERMARK_RATIO=0.0 to disable upper limit for memory allocations (may cause system failure).
Is there no way to run this model on a mac ?
I've run it successfully on apple silicon as below

Having said that I think you may be out of memory , not sure which m3 you have but mine is 128GB and can handle it at this full precision. Smaller URAM models will need to wait for quantized model like Q8 or smaller.
