You can still offload most of the model to RAM and use the GPU for compute, but it's obviously much slower than what it would be if everything was on the GPU memory.
see ktransformers: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1jpi0n9/ktransf...
I'm certainly not the brightest person in this thread but has there been effort to maybe bucket the computational cost of the model so that more expensive parts are on the gpu and less expensive parts are on the cpu?
