What is the issue?

I've been trying to run "smallthinker" and "llama3.2:1b", but after around 30 runs, the models stop giving outputs. However, ollama is running with 100% CPU in the background on my Mac.

Server logs may aid in debugging.

What client are you using? When you say "runs", do you mean ~30 independent interactions, or 30 prompt/replies in a single session?

I run a function called get_response() in a for loop that makes a single call to Ollama every iteration.
