ollama - 💡(How to fix) Fix Ollama.com model catalog has models that are platform specific [9 comments, 5 participants]

TL;DR

To resolve the issue, Ollama's model catalog should include a platform support field to indicate which models are compatible with specific platforms and frameworks.

Guidance

• Introduce a platform support field in the model catalog to provide clarity on model compatibility.
• Establish a consistent convention for model tags to avoid confusion and ensure that tags accurately reflect platform compatibility.
• Review and update existing model tags to adhere to the new convention and ensure that they do not imply platform exclusivity.
• Consider providing documentation or guidelines for users to determine which models are compatible with their Ollama install and platform.

Notes

The lack of information about the specific Ollama version, OS, GPU, and CPU used makes it difficult to provide a more detailed solution. However, introducing a platform support field and establishing a consistent tagging convention should help mitigate the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Introduce a platform support field in the model catalog, as this will provide a clear indication of model compatibility and help users make informed decisions about which models to use.
