What is the issue?

I'm trying to create a model from gemma3:12b to integrate tools.
After creating, I have the following error when I try to run it:
Error: pull model manifest: file does not exist

This happened even if I don't modify the modelfile.

Relevant log output

Do this instead:

% echo FROM gemma3:12b > gemma3-tools:12b.modelfile
% ollama create gemma3-tools:12b -f gemma3-tools:12b.modelfile

Thanks, it works.

It the first time I have the issue with a model.
Previously, I use to do the same commands with other models without any problem.

The model was successfully created and could reply normally, but when function call gemma3-tools:27b does not support tools appeared. Have you encountered it?

You have to modify the template to enable tools, see https://ollama.com/search?q=gemma3%20tools

I echo PetrosStav/gemma3-tools:27b and function call worked. So if I want add num_ctx, I need to add parameter in PetrosStav/gemma3-tools's modelfile? Could you have any eazy solutions?
