Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2343

there is a new api parameter for keeping the model loaded. it would be great to have it as a passable parameter in the modelfile.

Hi there, thanks for the issue! keep_alive has been added as of 0.1.23 as an API parameter. You can read more about it here: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md

In essence, keep_alive of 0 means the model won't stay loaded, keep_alive of -1 means it will stay loaded indefinitely, and keep_alive of another value (e.g. 5m or 10s or 20) will keep the model loaded for that period of time after generation
