Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/4078

When we use the steps mentioned below and download the models it will create few files:
https://github.com/meta-llama/llama3?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start

checklist.chk consolidated.00.pth params.json tokenizer.model

Here these file size is in GB.

Now, I want to switch to ollama and use these files how can I do without ollama run or ollama pull command .

As this will be duplicate of the same model.

Yes I have seen that, FROM ./mistral-7b-v0.1.Q4_0.gguf file is the single file only,

How do we choose one of the file from below files:

checklist.chk consolidated.00.pth params.json tokenizer.model

Hi. I had been dealing with that too. Your best bet is to use Open Web UI: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui.
