What is the issue?

When I switch the model from deepseek-r1:32b-qwen-distill-q8_0 to deepseek-r1:32b, the gpu can't load it, and the video memory only takes up 414M. The api call will keep getting stuck. Is it a potential bug or what may be the cause?

Relevant log output

After I switched the model to deepseek-r1:32b, the video memory usage:
