Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/573

This happens every time I try to interact with a falcon model:

❯ ollama run falcon:40b
>>> hi
Error: invalid file magic

Hardware is Apple silicon with 96GB of RAM

What version of ollama are you using? Falcon support was added in 0.0.19. You can check with ollama --version. Make sure the server has also been restarted since the upgrade

I just ran ollama --version and it is 0.0.21. But then I ran ollama run falcon:40b and couldn't reproduce the bug. Probably the error was related to an earlier version of ollama that got updated.

That sounds right, this error message wasn't very good but it usually shows up when trying to run Falcon on an earlier Ollama version that does not support it. Marking this as resolved for now. Let us know if the issue comes back.
