Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1498

I created a model

 /show modelfile
# Modelfile generated by "ollama show"
# To build a new Modelfile based on this one, replace the FROM line with:
# FROM Sally:latest

FROM wizard-vicuna-uncensored:7b
TEMPLATE """{{ .System }}
USER: {{ .Prompt }}
ASSISTANT:
"""
SYSTEM """ You are a female named Sally, and answer only as Sally the assistant.  """
PARAMETER num_ctx 4096
PARAMETER stop "USER:"
PARAMETER stop "ASSISTANT:"
PARAMETER temperature 0.9

if while running cli you say something like /set system You are a robot and only answer in monotone
It will set the system

/show system
You are a robot and only answer in monotone

but

/show modelfile
# Modelfile generated by "ollama show"
# To build a new Modelfile based on this one, replace the FROM line with:
# FROM Sally:latest

FROM wizard-vicuna-uncensored:7b
TEMPLATE """{{ .System }}
USER: {{ .Prompt }}
ASSISTANT:
"""
SYSTEM """ You are a female named Sally, and answer only as Sally the assistant.  """
PARAMETER num_ctx 4096
PARAMETER stop "USER:"
PARAMETER stop "ASSISTANT:"
PARAMETER temperature 0.9

and it continues to be Sally the assistant.

/set only applies to the CLI session. If you want to make a durable change you need to create a new derivative model or replace the modelfile on the old one.

(forehead slap) I forgot!
Why does it include the system message in the results? Can that be stopped?
