What is the issue?

After updating Ollama to the latest version (from 0.1.48) I noticed that the environment variable OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL is now ignored., Instead, the default value 4 is used.

My startup script:
export OLLAMA_MAX_LOADED_MODELS:2
export OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE:60m
export OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL:10

/bin/ollama serve

OS

Linux

GPU

Nvidia

CPU

Intel

Ollama version

0.2.5

The issue was in the syntax of setting the variables.
This is the correct way and is working as expected:
export OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=10
