The /chat endpoint supports images, as per the spec, yet the client's chat method doesn't:

https://github.com/ollama/ollama-python/blob/da79e987f0ac0a4986bf396f043b36ef840370bc/ollama/_client.py#L297-L357

Only the generate method supports images:

In chat, the image is under the messages field: https://github.com/ollama/ollama-python/blob/main/examples/multimodal-chat.py
