Hi @v3ss0n, running ollama create still compares the integrity of the model as you build it to make sure nothing has changed (by calculating a checksum of the model). There isn't currently a way to speed this up, although we'll be looking into how to speed up the checksum algorithms with hardware at some point since that can be quite slow for large models. It shouldn't be taking longer than ~5-10 seconds. If it is, please let me know and I'll re-open this issue!
