Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2586

I know I could download the latest model when a model is not installed. Say:

ollama run llama2

After some days, say one month, the model will be updated. Can ollama updates to the latest model automatically? I didn't find a way to do that.

Please help.

Hey @owenzhao , thanks for the issue. You can always pull again w/ ollama pull llama2. I've been looking at some ways to make this easier (maybe ollama pull --upgrade-all) but we never ended up w/ a satisfactory way of doing it.

Hello @owenzhao, thanks for highlighting this to us. I understand that pulling again with ollama pull laama2 to upgrade might not be the best solution but we're on it to find a better solution. We'll make sure to keep everyone in the loop as soon as we have an update that enhances the experience! I'll close this issue for now, but rest assured, we're actively working on it!
