About

In some usecases, I would need to get rid of the cli thinking animation:

⠙ ⠹ ⠹ ⠼ ⠴ ⠦ ⠧ ⠇ ⠏ ⠋ ⠙ ⠹ ⠸ ⠼ ⠴ ⠦ ⠧ ⠇ ⠏ ⠋ ⠋ ⠹ ⠹ ⠼ ⠴ ⠦ ⠧ ⠇ ⠏ ⠏ ⠋ ⠹ ⠸ ⠼ ⠴ ⠦ ⠧ ⠇ ⠏

💡 Feature request

Would it possible, when we run a ollama run command to remove the animation ?

This would look like:

  1. ollama run zephyr --silent "What is the meaning of life?"
  2. Wait while thinking (nofeedback provided because of the --silent option)
  3. See the answer streaming in the terminal

Hey @adriens is the animation getting animated incorrectly? I'm just wondering what the use case is.

Hi @pdevine , thanks for the followup, here is the current behavior.
👉 Everything runs perfectly well on a classis terminal

, it's in the very specific case when running on a Jupyter Notebook, see 🦙 ollama running local models w/LlamaIndex (CPU) below :

Hope this helps 🤞
