Could somebody please provide a working python example using ollama.create ? so far I have been unsuccessful. I also noticed that there are no examples of this type in the examples/ folder. Thanks.

Up until version 0.4.5 I wrapped it like so:

class Model():
    def __init__(
            self,
            name: str,
            model: str,
            system: str,
            options: Dict = None,
    ):
        rm_str = ['\\n', '\t'] # Remove problematic string formatting
        self.name = self._clean(str(name), rm_str, len(rm_str)*[' '])
        self.model = self._clean(str(model), rm_str, len(rm_str)*[' ']) # e.g. 'llama3.1:latest'
        self.system = f"""{self._clean(str(system), rm_str, len(rm_str)*[' '])}""" # e.g. 'You are a helpful assistant.'
        self.options = options
        self.modelfile = f"""FROM {model}\nSYSTEM {system}\n{self._options_to_modelfile(options)}"""
        self.modelfile = self._clean(self.modelfile, rm_str, len(rm_str)*[' '])
        print(self.modelfile)
        self._create()

    def _clean(self, s: str, old: str|List[str]='\\n', new:str|List[str]=' ') -> str:
        out = s
        if not isinstance(old, List):
            old = [old]
        if not isinstance(new, List):
            new = [new]
        assert len(old)==len(new)
        for o, n in zip(old, new):
            out = out.replace(o, n)
        return out
    
    def _create(self):
        self.create_status = ollama.create(model=self.name, modelfile=self.modelfile)

    def _options_to_modelfile(self, options: Dict = None):
        if options is None:
            res = ''
        else:
            res = 'PARAMETER '+ 'PARAMETER '.join([' '.join((k,str(v), '\n')) for k,v in options.items()])
        return res
    
    def _format_to_modelfile(self, format: BaseModel = None):
        if format is None:
            res = None
        else:
            res = format.model_json_schema()
        return res

However, with the next version the API was completely changed. Can I ask, btw, why this was done (e.g. @pdevine )? Now you have to pass all parameters separately, see changes.
I have not found documentation on this yet, @erlebach.

@pdevine commented on GitHub (Jan 17, 2025):

Hey guys,

Sorry about the confusion here. We had a breaking change in the API for the create endpoint. This was because the Modelfile isn't a great way to serialize data and we wanted to simplify how it works and make it more RESTful. We should have bumped the version properly since it's a breaking change.

There is new documentation on how the format works in the main repo and the example in the ollama-python repo has been updated (admittedly this is still pretty sparse and could use more examples).

@iNLyze for your example you can just send each of the args in _create(), rename options to parameters and you shouldn't need self.modelfile anymore.

@nodeMevK
The API changed recently - can you make sure the ollama version you're running is v0.5.7 you can check with ollama -v

@nodeMevK Glad to hear that! Sorry about the change, should've bumped the major version to show breaking change.
