There was a problem hiding this comment.
Note: this is an artificial 2GB limit that I had in place to test this out, given I don't actually bump into maxBufferLength on my M1 Max.
Should be switched back to ctx->device.maxBufferLength once issues are worked out.

This was my initial attempt at working around MTLBuffer.maxBufferLength last week. This seems to work for 7B models, but not for larger models (e.g. guanaco 65B).
I'll keep poking at it after hours, but creating this so others can take a look if/as they find time.
