ollama - 💡(How to fix) Fix gemma4:26b-nvfp4 has wrong metadata [7 comments, 5 participants]

❯ ollama run gemma4:26b-nvfp4 pulling manifest Error: pull model manifest: 412: this model requires macOS

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by updating the metadata of the gemma4:26b-nvfp4 model to remove the macOS requirement.

Guidance

• Verify the metadata of the gemma4:26b-nvfp4 model to confirm that it incorrectly requires macOS.
• Check the documentation of the ollama tool to see if there is an option to override or ignore the metadata requirements.
• Consider reaching out to the maintainers of the gemma4:26b-nvfp4 model to report the issue and request an update to the metadata.
• If possible, try running the model with an external GPU on a non-macOS system to confirm that it works as expected.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the metadata of the gemma4:26b-nvfp4 model, and updating this metadata may resolve the issue. However, without more information about the ollama tool and the model, it is difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: try running the model with an external GPU on a non-macOS system to confirm that it works as expected, while waiting for the metadata to be updated.
