Hotfix 1.106.1 - Allow overriding selected GPU devices directly with --device e.g. --device Vulkan0,Vulkan1, Updated lite

Important Notice: The CLBlast backend may be removed soon, as it is very outdated and no longer receives and updates, fixes or improvements. It can be considered superceded by the Vulkan backend. If you have concerns, please join the discussion here.

Download and run the koboldcpp.exe (Windows) or koboldcpp-linux-x64 (Linux), which is a one-file pyinstaller for NVIDIA GPU users.
If you have an older CPU or older NVIDIA GPU and koboldcpp does not work, try oldpc version instead (Cuda11 + AVX1).
If you don't have an NVIDIA GPU, or do not need CUDA, you can use the nocuda version which is smaller.
If you're using AMD, we recommend trying the Vulkan option in the nocuda build first, for best support. Alternatively, you can try koboldcpp_rocm at YellowRoseCx's fork here if you are a Windows user or download our rolling ROCm binary here if you use Linux.
If you're on a modern MacOS (M-Series) you can use the koboldcpp-mac-arm64 MacOS binary.

For more information, be sure to run the program from command line with the --help flag. You can also refer to the readme and the wiki.
