+By default, these tests are disabled so `go test ./...` will exercise only unit tests.  To run integration tests you must pass the integration tag.  `go test -tags=integration ./...` Some tests require additional tags to enable to allow scoped testing to keep the duration reasonable.  For example, testing a broad set of models requires `-tags=integration,models` and a longer timeout (~60m or more depending on the speed of your GPU.). To view the current set of tag combinations use `find integration -type f | xargs grep "go:build"`
 
 
 The integration tests have 2 modes of operating.
 
 1. By default, they will start the server on a random port, run the tests, and then shutdown the server.
-2. If `OLLAMA_TEST_EXISTING` is set to a non-empty string, the tests will run against an existing running server, which can be remote

+Touching a CUDA device causes the allocation of a primary context
+with CUDA data structures (~300 MB of VRAM). If a device is
+unused then it can be reset to free these data structures.
