 | `--disk` | If the model is too large for your GPU(s) and CPU combined, send the remaining layers to the disk. |
 | `--max-gpu-memory MAX_GPU_MEMORY` | Maximum memory in GiB to allocate to the GPU when loading the model. This is useful if you get out of memory errors while trying to generate text. Must be an integer number. |
