#### Description
I am getting compilation errors on the older CPU with just AVX even if I want to offload everything to CUDA GPU.

Yes, `AVX2` or better is a hard requirement on `x86_64`. I think `llama.cpp` is a better option for older hardware.

> Thank you for reply. Yes, I just wanted to try your advanced quants on GPU. It is sad that AVX2 is required even if CPU will be doing next to nothing.
