Your error message indicates that the Qwen3 model requires a newer version of Ollama than 0.6.8.

How to fix:

  1. Go to https://ollama.com/download and download the latest version for Windows.

  2. Install it—make sure to overwrite any existing Ollama installation.

  3. Close all terminals, open a new PowerShell, and run:

    ollama -v

It should show the latest version number.

  1. Now try:

    ollama run qwen3

If it still shows 0.6.8:

Search your system for any extra ollama.exe files and remove them.
Make sure your system PATH points to the new installation directory.
