You can do this via the API by setting keep_alive to 0:

curl ${OLLAMA_HOST-localhost:11434}/api/generate -d '{"model":"'$MODEL'","keep_alive":0}'

yes but this command dosnt work on windows

it will be much cleaner to have

ollama stop <model_name>

and

api/stop end point

curl is a default component of windows since December 19 2017, although it's possible the arguments are different. You can wrap in a batch file called ollamastop.bat or write a PS cmdlet and use that until the ollama cli is extended.
