What is the issue?

root@ollama:~# ollama run gemma4:e4b-it-q8_0
Error: 500 Internal Server Error: llama runner process has terminated: %!w(<nil>)

but gemma4:26b-a4b-it-q4_K_M works perfectly. May be some problem in audio things.

ask for any further info if needed

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue is likely caused by a problem with loading the audio model in the gemma4:e4b-it-q8_0 configuration, and a workaround may involve checking the model configuration or updating the Ollama version.

Guidance

  • Check the model configuration for gemma4:e4b-it-q8_0 to ensure that the audio tower is properly defined and loaded.
  • Verify that the model.audio_tower.layers.10.feed_forward1.ffw_layer_1.output_max tensor is assigned and loaded correctly.
  • Consider updating the Ollama version to a newer release, as the current version 0.20.0-rc0 may contain bugs or issues that are fixed in later versions.
  • Review the log output to ensure that there are no other errors or warnings that may be related to the issue.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the gemma4:e4b-it-q8_0 configuration, as the gemma4:26b-a4b-it-q4_K_M configuration works perfectly. This suggests that the problem may be related to the model configuration or the audio tower.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the model configuration and update the Ollama version if necessary, as the current version may contain bugs or issues that are fixed in later versions.
