Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/9476

What is the issue?

Using ollama with llama3 models on macOS, one of the latest upgrades perhaps to 0.5.11 or 0.5.12 has broken output of chinese characters. Approximately one month ago, llama3.3 could chat flawlessly with chinese characters. Now it doesn’t output any chinese characters anymore.

Relevant log output

Mac Shell % ollama run llama3.3:70b
>>> please translate to chinese: "Hello"
(nǐ hǎo)

(Note: (nǐ hǎo) is a formal way of saying "hello" in Mandarin Chinese. For informal settings, you can use (nĭ hăo) or simply (hāi))

Hi @p3d-dev, I went back as far as v0.5.4 and see the same output as you. I'd suggest anchoring the model by posing the question in Mandarin to get the results you're after:

❯ ollama run llama3.3:70b
>>> 请翻译成中文: "hello"
你好！
