DLL initialization routine failed

Hello!
I was attempting to use KoboldCpp to connect to SillyTavern but I ran into a problem. Sadly, I am not acquainted enough with coding or anything of the sort to fix it myself.
Here is the text I was presented with upon pressing the "Launch" button:

And my computer specifications, if needed:
Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) N4500 @ 1.10GHz / Windows 11 Home Version 24H2

Thank you!

It looks like the Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) N4500 is a low-end CPU that does not support AVX or AVX2 instruction sets used - thus will be quite slow.

Can you try running it with the Failsafe Mode (Old CPU) option. If you are running it from the command prompt, you would add the flag --failsafe

Also you would probably need to use a smaller model, otherwise it will be too slow.

It has worked! Thank you. Do you have any recommendations for better models to use?

How much RAM do you have? You can maybe try this: https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.2-3B-GGUF/blob/main/Hermes-3-Llama-3.2-3B.Q4_K_M.gguf

I have 8 gigabytes of RAM.

[LostRuins]

Yeah, then that model should suit you.

Considering this machine is so limited both on the CPU and RAM side you can also consider trying KoboldCpp on colab with https://koboldai.org/colabcpp
