Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/9629

LLMs are increasingly supporting attachments (both Anthropic and OpenAI now support these).

I don't know if any of the current ollama models can even work with attachments, short of including them in the context window (if they are plain text, at least). However, I'm sure in the future many models will support working with attachments (including more complex formats like images or PDFs).

I don't see a way to add attachments through the ollama commandline interface. If this functionality does not currently exist, please consider this a feature request.

Attachment processing is usually a function of the client. See integrations for clients that handle documents.

I am able to attach images to Llava with a prompt like

Describe this image /Macdrive/local_image_path_on_mac/image.png

(just write "Describe this image " then drag the image from the Finder to the terminal, be aware of the space after the word "image ")

Ollama will say it added the image to the prompt and Llava starts processing.

Yes, image models will accept images.
