How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

With instance settings>AIprovider>LLM
I have AnythingLLM selected from drop down box as LLM Provider.
Underneath this drop box box is "Import from GGUF" and "Import model from Ollama or Huggingface"
Choosing Import from GGUF and selecting a ~39GB GGUF file results in a loading circle next to the Import text.
And the number "400" slowly flashing underneath.

My drive shows no activity, I've waited 10+ minutes.
Monitored /Users//Library/Application Support/anythingllm-desktop/storage for changes, and nothing.

I also tried to download the GGUF again via the other import option, and again nothing on the drives, nothing on the network.

Choosing an LLM from the list below the import buttons, does fetch and place the model into the Models folder.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Fresh install.
Mac Sonoma 14.1
LLama 3.3 70b Q_K_M GGUF file.

Can you see any logs? This is a big model, but still should not be a huge issues. That being said this import process is the same as running ollama create - which copies the model as well as does some other tasks for it to be loadable into the model.

Since the model is LLama3.3 70B you could just put ollama run llama3.3 into that import input field and it would pull the same model from the registry. Either way, without any logs it would be hard to know if this is system, app, or perms related

The same thing happens to me. No matter what type of model I add, it ends up like in the screenshot — it shows a 400 error and nothing happens. It's really frustrating.
