I was using tinyllama-1431k-3T-base to push it wasn't work.

I have to change it to just tinyllama and it's working.

@emsi Try to use a model name without a special character. From Qra-13b to qra and use tag instead.

It's a pitty that web UI provides a validator that returns a message explaining that while the ollama server just spits some bogus error.

@emsi and @pacozaa I believe the problem is the uppercase characters in the model name. If you can just change the names to lowercase it should work. We actually have a change going in soon that should validate this better on the CLI.

It sounds to me that the Ollama service takes some time to make a new model created via the web interface available to push. After some time, I was able to push.

The push error is gone, but after the push, my pushed model is ignored by the ollama.com service.

It is probably related to the compatibility of Ollama 0.1.38 with Mistral v0.3.
Using llama2 worked.

For future readers, this may be failing due to uppercase letters in the name of the model. I have a change open to make the error message better in this case going forward.

Can confirm.

First tried to push with a name "Name-XX" (without quotes), got an error.

Changed it to "xxname" and success.

I have an uppercase username, but the model name is in lowercase. Is this one of the reasons too? Because I'm facing this same issue

I have a username also with a capital letter, and it went through without an issue, so my guess would be that underscore ("_").

I just created a new account with all lowercase username, without special characters, and it went through without any issues.
