@AndersonALAC @cnopens
Oops! 😟
Thanks for your inform that make me realized it might be a security concern due to non-escaped printf.
The new patch already applied! Thanks for reporting again! 🥇

@sokovnich
The patch already applied!
Linux can recognize their OLLAMA_HOME automatically. 🐧

@supersonictw thank you

i got an warning while exporting llava:34b model:
/ollama-export.sh: line 103: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input

i inspected the llava model manifest file, and the warning is maybe caused by the mediaType: projector:

{
      "mediaType": "application/vnd.ollama.image.projector",
      "digest": "sha256:83720bd8438ccdc910deba5efbdc3340820b29258d94a7a60d1addc9a1b5f095",
      "size": 699956416
    }

there is no blob file corresponding to the sha256 digest under ollama models/blob folder

Hi, I can use this script to export the model that I have already downloaded using for example "ollama pull" right?
This exported model I can then use to fine tune using LoRA?
I understood that I cannot fine tune using ollama and hence have to export the model, fine tune outside, then import it back to Ollama to use it with ollama inference?

(I am totally new to AI models)

Hello! @vasanthnagkv

This exported model I can then use to fine tune using LoRA?

Yes if the model is llama model based. It's related to ggml-org/llama.cpp#6680

import it back to Ollama to use it with ollama inference

The script can be worked with ollama create for importing, it's compatible.

Hi!
Thanks for your work!

I ve got this weird trace just before success message : jq: error (at <stdin>:1): Cannot iterate over number (8)

It happens with few models like codellama:34b and nomic-embed-text

I still manage to import these exported models into my offline ollama instance

If you have any idea ?

Am i allowed to add this to my package manager, scriptgrab?
