What is the issue?

When running: ollama run gemma3:4b What is this image ~/personal/profilePicture.jpg

on my Mac with version 0.6.0 0.6.1 and 0.6.2
all output gibberish instead of valid text. It is worth noting that text mode works. It's also worth noting that this seems to function just fine on my linux server with an Nvidia gpu. It's just my M3 Mac that does not seem to work.

I've also tested with open web ui and another UI. Terminal seems the most direct.

Also... thank you for all you do! This is amazing that it works at all!

Vs on my Nvidia server:

Here's a breakdown of what's in the image:

*   **Person:** A man is standing with his back to the camera, wearing a gray suit and a light-colored shirt. He's holding a green mug.
*   **Whiteboard:** He is standing in front of a white board.
*   **Diagram:** Drawn on the whiteboard is a complex diagram that appears to be a network or graph with interconnected nodes and lines. It looks like a visual 
representation of a system or process.

In essence, the image captures a moment of someone contemplating a complex diagram, likely during a meeting or brainstorming session.
