Description

I've installed unsloth from this index: https://pypi.jetson-ai-lab.io/jp6/cu126

The device has 8 GB of RAM/GPU, which should be enough for the following models: Gemma3 variants, 0.3B, 1B & 3B.

With ollama, I can easily do inference with all the above-mentioned models.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Compare memory usage between unsloth and ollama on Jetson Orin Nano; identify which operations cause OOM in unsloth. Check if unsloth loads additional model parts or has memory leaks.
