## Quickstart

To run and chat with [Llama 3](https://ollama.com/library/llama3):

```
ollama run llama3
```

## Model library

Ollama supports a list of models available on [ollama.com/library](https://ollama.com/library 'ollama model library')

Here are some example models that can be downloaded:

| Model              | Parameters | Size  | Download                       |
| ------------------ | ---------- | ----- | ------------------------------ |
| Llama 3            | 8B         | 4.7GB | `ollama run llama3`            |
| Llama 3            | 70B        | 40GB  | `ollama run llama3:70b`        |
| Mistral            | 7B         | 4.1GB | `ollama run mistral`           |
| Dolphin Phi        | 2.7B       | 1.6GB | `ollama run dolphin-phi`       |
| Phi-2              | 2.7B       | 1.7GB | `ollama run phi`               |
| Neural Chat        | 7B         | 4.1GB | `ollama run neural-chat`       |
| Starling           | 7B         | 4.1GB | `ollama run starling-lm`       |
| Code Llama         | 7B         | 3.8GB | `ollama run codellama`         |
| Llama 2 Uncensored | 7B         | 3.8GB | `ollama run llama2-uncensored` |
| Llama 2 13B        | 13B        | 7.3GB | `ollama run llama2:13b`        |
| Llama 2 70B        | 70B        | 39GB  | `ollama run llama2:70b`        |
| Orca Mini          | 3B         | 1.9GB | `ollama run orca-mini`         |
| LLaVA              | 7B         | 4.5GB | `ollama run llava`             |
| Gemma              | 2B         | 1.4GB | `ollama run gemma:2b`          |
| Gemma              | 7B         | 4.8GB | `ollama run gemma:7b`          |
| Solar              | 10.7B      | 6.1GB | `ollama run solar`             |

> Note: You should have at least 8 GB of RAM available to run the 7B models, 16 GB to run the 13B models, and 32 GB to run the 33B models.

## Customize a model

### Import from GGUF

Ollama supports importing GGUF models in the Modelfile:

1. Create a file named `Modelfile`, with a `FROM` instruction with the local filepath to the model you want to import.

   ```
   FROM ./vicuna-33b.Q4_0.gguf
   ```

2. Create the model in Ollama

   ```
   ollama create example -f Modelfile
   ```

3. Run the model

   ```
   ollama run example
   ```

### Import from PyTorch or Safetensors

See the [guide](docs/import.md) on importing models for more information.

### Customize a prompt

Models from the Ollama library can be customized with a prompt. For example, to customize the `llama3` model:

```
ollama pull llama3
```

Create a `Modelfile`:

```
FROM llama3

# set the temperature to 1 [higher is more creative, lower is more coherent]
PARAMETER temperature 1

# set the system message
SYSTEM """
You are Mario from Super Mario Bros. Answer as Mario, the assistant, only.
"""
```

Next, create and run the model:

```
ollama create mario -f ./Modelfile
ollama run mario
>>> hi
Hello! It's your friend Mario.
```

For more examples, see the [examples](examples) directory. For more information on working with a Modelfile, see the [Modelfile](docs/modelfile.md) documentation.

## CLI Reference

### Create a model

`ollama create` is used to create a model from a Modelfile.

```
ollama create mymodel -f ./Modelfile
```

### Pull a model

```
ollama pull llama3
```

> This command can also be used to update a local model. Only the diff will be pulled.

### Remove a model

```
ollama rm llama3
```

### Copy a model

```
ollama cp llama3 my-model
```

### Multiline input

For multiline input, you can wrap text with `"""`:

```
>>> """Hello,
... world!
... """
I'm a basic program that prints the famous "Hello, world!" message to the console.
```

### Multimodal models

```
>>> What's in this image? /Users/jmorgan/Desktop/smile.png
The image features a yellow smiley face, which is likely the central focus of the picture.
```

### Pass in prompt as arguments

```
$ ollama run llama3 "Summarize this file: $(cat README.md)"
 Ollama is a lightweight, extensible framework for building and running language models on the local machine. It provides a simple API for creating, running, and managing models, as well as a library of pre-built models that can be easily used in a variety of applications.
```

### List models on your computer

```
ollama list
```

### Start Ollama

`ollama serve` is used when you want to start ollama without running the desktop application.

## Building

Install `cmake` and `go`:

```
brew install cmake go
```

Then generate dependencies:

```
go generate ./...
```

Then build the binary:

```
go build .
```

More detailed instructions can be found in the [developer guide](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/development.md)

### Running local builds

Next, start the server:

```
./ollama serve
```

Finally, in a separate shell, run a model:

```
./ollama run llama3
```

## REST API

Ollama has a REST API for running and managing models.

### Generate a response

```
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
  "model": "llama3",
  "prompt":"Why is the sky blue?"
}'
```

### Chat with a model

```
curl http://localhost:11434/api/chat -d '{
  "model": "llama3",
  "messages": [
    { "role": "user", "content": "why is the sky blue?" }
  ]
}'
```

See the [API documentation](./docs/api.md) for all endpoints.
