    Thanks for the issue. To keep the tracker readable, every item needs an area prefix in the title and the parts of the issue form filled in. This one is missing:

    • Start the title with its area: [Engine], [GUI], [TUI], [Benchmark], [Docs] or [Other], then a short description. Example: "[Engine] decode stops after 2 minutes".

    Edit the issue (title and description) and this note goes away on its own. If it is still missing parts in 5 days it will be closed, which is not a rejection: fix it and comment /reopen.

    Details: CONTRIBUTING.md

    The samething happend on mine ,and I have some test

    If I config the Conversation context more than 128k,and "Read pictures" is checked,then the engine start will be faile.

    Please update to 0.2.7.1 and send the new error: it now names the encoder's last lines and exit status. Does it start with a context of 64K and Read pictures on, and does it fail only above 128K?

    Same issue on 0.2.8

    server_exited (exit code 1): RuntimeError: the vision encoder did not start: it ended without saying anything (killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT, Abort trap: 6); last lines of its log: dyld[5855]: Symbol not found: _posix_spawn_file_ac | During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: | RuntimeError: the vision encoder did not start: it ended without saying anything (killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT, Abort trap: 6); last lines of its log: dyld[5858]: Symbol not found: _posix_spawn_file_ac

    This issue is now fully resolved after updating to version 0.2.9. The model loads successfully with image reading enabled on both CPU and GPU, regardless of the context size (even above 128k).
    Thank you! I am closing this issue as fixed.
