Error: selecting model: failed to pull gemma4:31b: max retries exceeded: EOF

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by re-downloading the gemma4:31b model or checking the model file integrity after updating to Ollama 0.20.2.

Guidance

• Verify that the model files were correctly copied from PC A to B, ensuring that the file paths and permissions are correct.
• Try re-downloading the gemma4:31b model using the Ollama command-line interface to ensure that the model is properly installed and configured.
• Check the Ollama documentation for any specific requirements or changes related to model management in version 0.20.2.
• If the issue persists, try removing the existing model files and re-downloading them to ensure a clean installation.

Notes

The lack of information about the OS, GPU, and CPU may limit the ability to provide a more specific solution. Additionally, the empty log output does not provide any additional clues about the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Re-download the gemma4:31b model to ensure that it is properly installed and configured, as the update to Ollama 0.20.2 may have introduced changes to model management.
