Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/9905

The API documentation (https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md) does not specify how errors and especially error messages are reported.

Right now (as of 0.6.2), Ollama seems to use HTTP return codes (such as 404 for missing models, or 400 for broken requests) and returns a JSON object with only a "error" field with an error message.

I've submitted a fix in the PR above. Added an Error Responses section to the API docs covering the JSON format and common HTTP status codes.
