What is the issue?

Dear Ollama Team,

My account is AntAngelMed (sikuaishitong@sina.com). I encountered an error while uploading a model, which is approximately 100GB in size. During the upload process, I consistently received the following prompt: "Error: max retries exceeded: http status 413 Request Entity Too Large".

The full error HTML response is:

I have searched for related issues in the Ollama GitHub repository but found no existing solutions or discussions regarding this upload size limit and the 413 error.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this? Is there a different method or endpoint for uploading very large models, or perhaps a setting that needs to be adjusted on the server side? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and support.

Additionally, a smaller model of 2.4 GB is also reporting the same error.
