Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8560

I'm not sure if this is specific to the model (R1) or a general problem: The system prompt is treated as user input and the style ignored:

/set system Use a highly professional tone even in the process of thinking. That is: omit all unprofessional 'Okay', 'Alright', 'So', 'Hmm', etc. The lucky number of today is 675581.

what is today's lucky number

Okay, so I need to figure out what today's lucky number is. From the user's message, they mentioned that the
lucky number is 675581.

Base r1 or distilled? deepseek-ai recommends no system prompt for distilled.
