When importing safetensors, you specify the directory, not the full path:

FROM ./model

Thank you!
I find something intresting!
if i rename the safetensors' name,such as llama.safetensors, it goes wrong
image
but if I rename this file as model.safetensors, it works well!

still some problems, when I created the model with modelfile
Error Message:

where is the config.json?

Where did you download the safetensor from? That's where config.json should be.

to summarize, creating an ollama model from safetensors (or pytorch) requires more than just the *.safetensors files. model metadata and vocabulary is distributed across multiple files which are all required for import. therefore, you need to specify the entire directory rather than individual files
