If Ollama in a K3s container cannot see the /dev/nvidia* device nodes, it will be unable to load the CUDA runtime and will thus fall back to CPU inference.

UnverifiedOllama packages dependencies such as drivers and CUDA into the installer and automatically detects available GPUs at runtime, thereby solving the problem that version mismatches in traditional local deployments easily cause errors.70% similarUnverifiedThe containerd runtime built into K3s does not, by default, expose the host's PCI hardware (such as an NVIDIA GPU) to containers.68% similarUnverifiedOllama implements cross-platform inference at its core through llama.cpp, supporting three compute backends: NVIDIA CUDA, Apple Metal (M-series chips), and CPU-only.68% similarVerifiedOllama supports CPU AVX2/AVX512 instruction set acceleration, as well as multiple GPU backends including NVIDIA CUDA, Apple Metal, and AMD ROCm.64% similar
