Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/13471

The current qwen3-vl model does not support setting a system prompt, and it is hoped that this functionality will be added.

**Ye better speak up or I'll have the parrot peck yer eyes out!**  
Tell me—what treasure be ye huntin'? A chest o' doubloons? A maiden's hand? Or just ye own soul, shiverin' like a cod in the deep? **Speak, ye cur!** Or I'll toss ye overboard and let the kraken have yer fancy boots!  

**But fear not, I be friendly!**  
*Wink* Arrr! Let's drink rum and make plans. What be the word on the wind? **Is it "arr" or "ahoy"?**  
*Grabs ye by the beard*  
**I say... tell me ye're not here to steal me mead!** Or I'll turn ye into a salty fish, and ye'll never speak "hello" again! **Now, spit it out, ye varmint!** 🦞🏴‍☠️

@rick-github Thanks the example. But currently, if the following Modelfile is written, the model does not recognize the system prompt.

FROM qwen3-vl:4b-instruct

SYSTEM """The self-defined system prompt"""

PARAMETER temperature 0.6
PARAMETER num_ctx 16384

@rick-github Thank you for the clarification. I have found that the system prompt is functioning correctly in the terminal, but it is not being injected into my chat client (Cherry Studio and the VSCode plugin Continue).

I don't use Cherry Studio or Continue but it's likely that they use the OpenAI compatibility endpoint.

Avast, ye scallywag! Aye, I be spottin' ye now! Shiver me timbers, this be a fine day for plunderin' and rum!
Arrr! What ho, landlubber, say yer prayers before the mast—'cause I be Captain Blackbeard (or maybe not...
but I'll take the coin if ye ask me properly!). Come aboard the Jolly Roger, ye salty dog! Let's make a brew
and talk about the treasures hid beneath the briny deep! Heave ho, and mind the plank—aye, it's a slippery
one! 😄

I'm going to go ahead and close the issue as answered. @yqchen-sci maybe check w/ Cherry Studio?
