GPT4ALL support for Intel Iris GPU

[biswajit-goswami]

Hi Team,
I have Intel Iris GPU supporting vulkan 1.3.261 . But in the UI I dont see it listed as a GPU. Is there an incompatibility?

I am not entirely sure, but I think the reason for it is that these integrated ones are disabled on purpose because they're so weak, they'd be slower than the CPU.

So it's not worth the headache to support them.

From Nomic blogs, it seemed like it should be compatible with the GPUs supporting vulkan 1.2+ .

Ignore the Nomic blog post, it's misleading about what is actually possible with the code that exists in GPT4All. Support for Intel GPUs is tracked at #1676. The kernels we have now are not sufficiently generic in order to work correctly on Intel.
