What is the issue?

  1. Run in windows console (cmd) ollama launch.
  2. Select first item (Run a model (qwen3:8b))
  3. Enter Hello?, press Enter.

Expected result: Model answer and prompt ask you again for enter next message.

Actual result: app try use verbose flag at the end, for detect if need show stats.
It not properly defined in launch context. So Go emit error:
Error running model: flag accessed but not defined: verbose and fallback into the main menu.

ollama run qwen3:8b
or
ollama run qwen3:8b --verbose
will work fine.

Full log:

>ollama launch
>>> Hello?
Thinking...
Okay, the user said "Hello?" and I need to respond. Let me make sure I understand the context. They might just be testing if I'm responsive or starting a conversation. I should acknowledge their greeting politely.

I should keep it friendly and open-ended to encourage them to share more. Maybe add an emoji to keep the tone light. Let me check if there's anything else they might need. Since they didn't specify a particular topic, a general offer to help is good. Alright, time to put it all together.
...done thinking.
