What is the issue?

When using Ollama own interface web search function, the time and day return is always wrong.

It is fine when using web search with Open WebUI, seem not a issue of the LLM.

TL;DR

The issue with incorrect time and day returns in Ollama's own interface web search function may be resolved by investigating and adjusting the date and time settings or formatting within the Ollama interface.

Guidance

  • Investigate the date and time formatting used in Ollama's interface to ensure it matches the expected format.
  • Compare the date and time settings in Ollama's interface with those in Open WebUI to identify any discrepancies.
  • Check for any timezone or localization settings that might be affecting the date and time returns.
  • Verify if the issue persists across different search queries or if it's specific to certain searches.

Notes

The lack of information about the Ollama version, OS, GPU, and CPU makes it difficult to provide a more specific solution. Additionally, the empty log output does not provide any clues about the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the date and time settings or formatting within the Ollama interface, as this is the most likely cause of the issue and can be investigated without requiring additional information.
