Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/6230

I find ollama already support bge-m3,
because bge-m3 can generate sparse vector. Is there any way for generate sparse embeddings?

Any update on sparse embeddings support?
I have read the BGE-M3 documentation, this model support Colbert Multi Vector Embeddings too.
It is very convenient if one api call to Ollama, can generate 3 type vectors at once (Dense, Sparse, and Colbert)!
