What is the issue?

When I run ollama show qwen3.6:35b-a3b-q8_0 --modelfile>qwen36.modelfile, it does not save the full modelfile. As a result, if I import a finetuned model with qwen36.modelfile, Ollama says the model does not support tools. It used to show full template including tools and system message.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by checking the --modelfile option usage or the compatibility of the qwen36.modelfile with the current Ollama version.

Guidance

  • Verify that the --modelfile option is used correctly, ensuring the file path and name are accurate.
  • Check the Ollama documentation for any changes in the --modelfile option or modelfile format in version 0.21.2.
  • Test importing the finetuned model with a different modelfile to isolate if the issue is specific to qwen36.modelfile.
  • Review the Ollama version history to see if there were any changes related to modelfile handling or tool support.

Notes

The issue might be specific to the qwen36.modelfile or the way it's being used with Ollama version 0.21.2. Without more information about the modelfile or the exact error messages from Ollama, it's challenging to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try using a different modelfile or an earlier version of Ollama to see if the issue persists, as this might help identify if the problem is version-specific or related to the modelfile itself.
