Originally created by @jamesbraza on GitHub (Oct 3, 2023).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/685

https://ollama.ai/library has a lot of models. I would like to add a new model, and want to make sure it uses the GPU. So I am looking to refer to Modelfiles for models featured on https://ollama.ai/library.

Where is the source Modelfiles for the current "built in" models?

There is nothing to add to ensure it uses the gpu.

All the settings in the modelfile are shown for each tag in each model.

Oh that's pretty convenient, I didn't realize that about Tags, thank you! Though I don't think it's the full Modelfile, for example with https://ollama.ai/library/llama2:13b

screenshot of llama2:13b Tags

I don't see a FROM field, though the docs state it's required. In the llama2:13b's Modelfile, does it have a FROM field?

It's from a model weights file on the system that built the model

When you say model weights file on the system, you mean something like a local .bin or .gguf? So something like FROM ./downloaded-model.bin.

And if yes, feel free to close this out 👍 I will open a docs PR to add this to docs/

@jamesbraza You can also use the show command to print out the Modelfile:

% ollama show llama2:13b
# Modelfile generated by "ollama show"
# To build a new Modelfile based on this one, replace the FROM line with:
# FROM llama2:13b

FROM /Users/pdevine/.ollama/models/blobs/sha256:f79142715bc9539a2edbb4b253548db8b34fac22736593eeaa28555874476e30
TEMPLATE """[INST] {{ if and .First .System }}<<SYS>>{{ .System }}<</SYS>>

{{ end }}{{ .Prompt }} [/INST] """
