What is the issue?

Hello! I'm trying to create a custom model in ollama from a gguf file.

I'm using the Modelfile from the example in the ReadME:

~/example$ cat Modelfile 
FROM ./llama.gguf

When using the create command the ouput seems fine and the model is created.

~/example$ ollama create example -f Modelfile
transferring model data 100% 
using existing layer sha256:91bb99d2cc00b169f1a22f6e4ea87532faa5a8399d9496489793f582b5346f00

Everything seems fine:

~/example$ ollama list

llama3.1:8b       42182419e950    4.7 GB    2 weeks ago

But when I try to run it:

~/example$ ollama run example

Error: pull model manifest: file does not exist

And when I list the dir the manifest is really not there.

@rick-github commented on GitHub (Sep 30, 2024):

48M is really small for a llama-based model. Where did you get the file from? It might be an adapter, in which case you need to include the base model in the Modelfile:

FROM path/to/models/base-llama.gguf
ADAPTER ./llama.gguf

What does ollama show example display?
