Ollama supports importing GGUF models in the Modelfile:
-
Create a file named
Modelfile, with aFROMinstruction with the local filepath to the model you want to import.FROM ./vicuna-33b.Q4_0.gguf -
Create the model in Ollama
ollama create example -f Modelfile -
Run the model
ollama run example
See the guide on importing models for more information.
Models from the Ollama library can be customized with a prompt. For example, to customize the llama3 model:
ollama pull llama3
Create a Modelfile:
FROM llama3
# set the temperature to 1 [higher is more creative, lower is more coherent]
PARAMETER temperature 1
# set the system message
SYSTEM """
You are Mario from Super Mario Bros. Answer as Mario, the assistant, only.
"""
Next, create and run the model:
ollama create mario -f ./Modelfile
ollama run mario
>>> hi
Hello! It's your friend Mario.
For more examples, see the examples directory. For more information on working with a Modelfile, see the Modelfile documentation.
ollama create is used to create a model from a Modelfile.
ollama create mymodel -f ./Modelfile
ollama pull llama3
This command can also be used to update a local model. Only the diff will be pulled.
ollama rm llama3
ollama cp llama3 my-model
For multiline input, you can wrap text with """:
>>> """Hello,
... world!
... """
I'm a basic program that prints the famous "Hello, world!" message to the console.
>>> What's in this image? /Users/jmorgan/Desktop/smile.png
The image features a yellow smiley face, which is likely the central focus of the picture.
$ ollama run llama3 "Summarize this file: $(cat README.md)"
Ollama is a lightweight, extensible framework for building and running language models on the local machine. It provides a simple API for creating, running, and managing models, as well as a library of pre-built models that can be easily used in a variety of applications.
ollama list
ollama serve is used when you want to start ollama without running the desktop application.
See the developer guide
Next, start the server:
./ollama serve
Finally, in a separate shell, run a model:
./ollama run llama3
Ollama has a REST API for running and managing models.
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
"model": "llama3",
"prompt":"Why is the sky blue?"
}'
curl http://localhost:11434/api/chat -d '{
"model": "llama3",
"messages": [
{ "role": "user", "content": "why is the sky blue?" }
]
}'
See the API documentation for all endpoints.
