What is the issue?

it is still working, but would appreciate any help what these errors mean. I don't get any errors when I run: ollama run deepseek-r1:14b, and I didn't get any errors before the last update.

tried uninstalling and re-downloading and running fresh copy, but not difference.

Relevant log output

Hi @mac-city sorry Ollama feels slower now. May I ask how much VRAM you have?

@mac-city thanks! Which errors are you seeing? Or is the performance worse?

so this is the normal output from issuing the ollama serve command? I never had anything like that on the previous version.

Yes this is normal. It's not suggested to run ollama serve directly. It should be run either through the desktop app on macOS or Windows, or a service manager such as systemd on linux. These help manage the lifecycle of ollama. Since you're on macOS, I'd strongly suggest using the desktop app

I must not know what I'm doing. desktop app? I go to ollama, download for macOS, it puts a menu in my menubar when launched, and nothing else happens as far as what I would call a desktop app. the only option on the menubar is quit. I interact on the command line after that. then I serve it to my openwebui server on my proxmox server. serve ollama from my m1 mac mini, and interact through browser. this was a test before buying a new m4 mac mini to use as a dedicated ai for my home assistant and open webui.

@mac-city When Ollama is present in the tray, the server is already running in the background, and ready. Open up a terminal, and you can run commands like ollama run deepseek-r1:14b to start an interactive chat session...
