Ok, I found how, but it would be cool if you expose a method to change the model template.

thanks

Modelfiles themselves are not stored but there are multiple ways of changing a model template as well as other parameters.

Similar to Dockerfiles, you can inherit and override parts of a Modelfile. The docs describe this in detail

You can also override the template in runtime with template in the API request or with /set template in the REPL

Well i found exactly where they are, they are stored in blob as json file with a hash name so i did change it and it works. My front end already does the formatting that's why i just need bare text generation with no template.
If you add an endpoint to the api /set_template for example, that would be helpful because since the file name is a hash, it is extrememy difficult for me to automate the changing of the template from the front end.
Thanks for answering.
