What is the issue?

I'm attempting to pull qwen3:14b on Windows. I downloaded the latest version of Ollama from the website today, Aug 25, 2025.

PS C:\Users\jacks> ollama run qwen3:14b
pulling manifest
Error: pull model manifest: 412:

The model you are attempting to pull requires a newer version of Ollama.

Please download the latest version at:

        https://ollama.com/download

The output of ollama -v:

PS C:\Users\jacks> ollama -v
ollama version is 0.5.7
Warning: client version is 0.11.7

There is not a newer version available. The only thing I can think of is that the ollama version is not getting updated, but I'm not sure what that version is supposed to be relative to the client.

Relevant log output

Windows

Nvidia

Ollama version

Are you, or have you been running ollama in WSL?

@vital101 it looks like you've just got an older version of ollama kicking around on your machine somewhere. The server is running the older version and the client you downloaded is running the newer version.

That was it. I had an older copy kicking around inside of WSL. I removed it and now things work fine. Thanks friends!
