Ollama cannot run 1 bit models. To run 1bit you need to run llama.cpp's llama-server and load this model and use the "Generic OpenAI" connector - that is what I did in that video. Ollama does not (and is unlikely to ever) support 1 bit.

Installed this after watching the video and I mean, nothing local comes close to this, does it?

Almost seems like this should be the default model for anything local now. ☺️
