What is the issue?

ollama run x/z-image-turbo "A chef in a busy kitchen, steam rising from pots"
Error: 500 Internal Server Error: mlx runner failed: Error: MLX runner not available: build with mlx tag (exit: exit status 1)

I installed the ollama using the .exe. Could you provide this functionality in the next .exe version, please?

Relevant log output
