extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to an outdated Ollama version, and upgrading to a newer version may resolve the error.

Guidance

  • The error message indicates that the model requires a newer version of Ollama, suggesting a version mismatch.
  • Check the Ollama releases page for available updates and pre-releases.
  • Consider upgrading Ollama to a version that supports the required model, potentially by running the install script again or manually installing a newer version.
  • Verify the current Ollama version (0.19.0) against the required version for the model (gemma4:26b) to confirm the version mismatch.

Notes

The issue lacks specific information about the required Ollama version for the model, so a direct upgrade path is unclear.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Upgrade to a newer Ollama version, as the current version (0.19.0) is likely outdated for the required model.
