What is the issue?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been exploring Ollama for working with LLaMA models, and I came across an issue where the fine-tune command seems to be unrecognized. Specifically, when I try to fine-tune a model using the command:

ollama fine-tune llama3.1:8b -f training_data.jsonl
I receive an error: unknown command "fine-tune" for "ollama".

Is fine-tuning supported in Ollama? If not, are there any plans to add this feature, or are there alternative methods to fine-tune models within Ollama?

Thanks in advance!

@parthipan76 there isn't yet a way to do fine tuning directly in Ollama, however you can import fine tuned adapters from other frameworks such as Unsloth and MLX. I'm working on a doc which will include how to do that (short answer is use the ADAPTER command in a Modelfile).
