Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/12728

When pulling from a registry, ollama should set the "last modified" timestamp to the actual last modification of the model in the registry and not to when the ollama pull command was run.

Examples:

  • If I pulled qwen3-coder:30b right now, modified would say a few seconds ago where the real modification date would be 4 weeks ago (as displayed online).
  • If I pulled qwen3-coder:30b two weeks ago and ran ollama pull qwen3-coder:30b again, it would reset the modification date even if nothing was changed.

@pdevine commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2025):

@binarynoise I'd be nervous to change this given its been the behaviour for the past 2 years. It is something that we have thought about before though, and there's actually even an issue open for it. I'll go ahead and close this as a duplicate of that issue.
