Originally created by @DavidSouther on GitHub (Jun 18, 2024).

I'm lazy-initializing a bunch of models (mostly mistral, just varying system prompts).

@dataclass
class Model:
    name: str
    base: str
    system: Optional[str] = None
    temperature: Optional[float] = None
    num_predict: Optional[int] = None
    stop: Optional[list[str]] = None

def load_model(model: Model):
    modelfile = [f"FROM {model.base}"]
    if model.num_predict is not None:
        modelfile.append(f"PARAMETER num_predict {model.num_predict}")
    if model.temperature is not None:
        modelfile.append(f"PARAMETER temperature {model.temperature}")
    if model.stop is not None:
        for stop in model.stop:
            modelfile.append(f"PARAMETER stop {stop}")
    if model.system is not None:
        modelfile.append(f'SYSTEM """{model.system}"""')

    modelfile = "\n".join(modelfile)

    logger.info(f"Creating model {model.name}\n{modelfile}")

    path = CONFIG / model.name
    file = open(path, "w")
    file.write(modelfile)
    file.close()
    ollama.create(model.name, path=path)
    path.unlink()

    # ollama.create(model.name, modelfile=modelfile)

Running either form of ollama.create is causing the same error:

File ".../llm.py", line 36, in load_model
  ollama.create(model.name, path=path)
File ".../.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ollama/_client.py", line 276, in create

python --version Python 3.12.3
pip --version pip 24.0 from .../.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip (python 3.12)
ollama==0.2.1

Am I doing anything obviously wrong?

Looks like this is an error in the client (or, at least, between the client and server) in that the server requires a path in the body of the create object. See #195

NVMThis was an issue with a mismatch between Client and Server versions. brew upgrade ollama seems to have resolved this.
