Customize a model#

Import from GGUF#

  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 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 directory. For more information on working with a Modelfile, see the Modelfile documentation.
