You actually don't need to go into ~/.ollama or hunt for any folders at all:
- For Step 1: Just open your terminal and paste those commands right where it opens. Ollama automatically saves the new model inside ~/.ollama behind the scenes for you.
- For Step 2: Hermes keeps its settings in its own folder (~/.hermes/config.yaml), or you can just type hermes model in the terminal to switch to gemma4-hermes:12b without editing any files manually.
When Hermes starts up, it sends a massive wall of instructions to the AI all at once (around 4,500 tokens). Your graphics card tries to process that entire chunk in one giant bite, takes too long, and your computer thinks the graphics card froze—so it resets it (ErrorDeviceLost).
Once that happens, the AI engine crashes in the background. Attempts 2 and 3 (EOF) only fail because Hermes is still overwhelmed
To fix it, you just need to tell Ollama to take smaller bites (num_batch) and give the model a larger memory window (num_ctx) so it doesn't choke on startup.
The thumb wheel zips around a pop up keyboard. It is touchscreen but I use the wheel and voice transcription for almost everything on this thing.
Kept in dry rooms with steady heat permitting is a long answer. It is straightforward but timing is a wildcard
I wonder if you have access to a local resource like this to reduce the cost https://biocurious.org/
I just started down this rabbit hole myself. Always used a default antenna that would ship with the board.. just getting into antenna construction. What will it be buried in?
