Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/14643

Currently, using Ollama with Korean language models [or specific Korean tasks] presents some challenges.
[Describe specifically what is lacking or problematic. E.g., Tokenization efficiency, lack of specific Korean models, poor performance in Korean syntax, etc.]

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see improved support for the Korean language in Ollama. Specifically:

  • [Detail 1: E.g., Better default tokenization for Hangul]
  • [Detail 2: E.g., Integration of specific Korean-tuned models like Llama-3-Korean or EEVE-Korean]
  • [Detail 3: E.g., Documentation or examples specifically for Korean NLP tasks]

Describe alternatives you've considered

[Have you tried other tools? Are you currently using a workaround? E.g., Using raw llama.cpp or other local LLM runners that handle Korean better.]

Additional context

  • Use Case: [E.g., Customer support chatbot in Korean, Translation, Summarization of Korean documents]
  • Models tested: [List any models you tried, e.g., llama3, gemma, etc.]
  • OS/Version: [e.g., macOS Sonoma, Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04]

It looks like you had an LLM generate a framework for a feature request and then couldn't be bothered filling out the fields where the LLM suggested you add your own input. You could just edit the post and replace the contents with "Please add support for Korean" and then somebody could have replied "https://ollama.com/library/exaone3.5" and then you could have replied with why support for a Korean model is not what you meant, and then a substantive discussion could have ensued.
