Run a GGUF model on an Intel GPU using llama.cpp's SYCL backend (Level Zero) with the official intel.Dockerfile. Covers building the Docker image from source at a pinned tag, launching llama-server with an OpenAI-compatible API, device selection, multi-GPU layer splitting, all recommended runtime env vars, flash-attention, and quantisation selection. Use when the user has a GGUF model and wants fast local inference or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint on Intel GPU without Python/PyTorch. The CUDA…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# llamacpp-xpu-run Run GGUF models on Intel GPUs via llama.cpp's SYCL backend. The official `.devops/intel.Dockerfile` is the canonical build path. Tested against tag **b9494** on Intel Arc B70 (Battlemage, `level_zero:0`). **CRITICAL SAFETY RULE: When removing a docker container, always `docker stop` first, then `docker rm`. Never use `docker prune` or any system-wide process-kill command.** ## Performance note When the Docker image and GGUF model are already present, launch the server immediately. Skip redundant image rebuilds and device checks — the server will fail fast if misconfigured. Always verify with the health endpoint after launch (see Validate section below). **Use a pinned upstream tag (e.g. `:b9494`), not `:latest`.** `docker run` reuses any locally-tagged image with no upstream check, so a stale `llama-server-sycl:latest` will silently run. If the user requests `:latest`, rebuild with `--no-cache` first, or resolve `latest` to the current upstream tag and build with that pinned name. ## CUDA → XPU cheat sheet | CUDA | Intel SYCL | |---|---| | `-DGGML_CUDA=ON` | `-DGGML_SYCL=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx` | …

How to install
mdr add intel/skills/llamacpp-xpu-run@sha256:7963fde6360eeb9eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.b1ad034, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
