Llama 3 import

It is now possible to import and quantize Llama 3 and its finetunes from Safetensors format to Ollama.

First, clone a Hugging Face repo with a Safetensors model:


git clone https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct
cd Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct


Next, create a `Modelfile`:


FROM .

TEMPLATE """{{ if .System }}<|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>

{{ .System }}<|eot_id|>{{ end }}{{ if .Prompt }}<|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

{{ .Prompt }}<|eot_id|>{{ end }}<|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

{{ .Response }}<|eot_id|>"""

PARAMETER stop <|start_header_id|>
PARAMETER stop <|end_header_id|>
PARAMETER stop <|eot_id|>


Then, create and quantize a model:


ollama create --quantize q4_0 -f Modelfile my-llama3
ollama run my-llama3


What's Changed
* Fixed issues where wide characters such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Russian languages.
* Added new `OLLAMA_NOHISTORY=1` environment variable that can be set to disable history when using `ollama run`
* New experimental `OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1` flag for `ollama serve` that improves token generation speed on Apple Silicon Macs and NVIDIA graphics cards
* Fixed error that would occur on Windows running `ollama create -f Modelfile`
* `ollama create` can now create models from I-Quant GGUF files
* Fixed `EOF` errors when resuming downloads via `ollama pull`
* Added a `Ctrl+W` shortcut to `ollama run`
