How to load a model from local disk path? about ollama HOT 3 CLOSED

This of transforming the names of the .gguf files into hash names is a terrible method, the llm models are large and take up a lot of space at a certain point it is not convenient to duplicate them just to be able to use them with other llm runners, and also through the names in hash it is very difficult to identify them.

Furthermore the same hash files or .ollama folder cannot be shared between windows and linux because the hash name of model one is called for example "sha256-b9a918323fcb82484b5a51ecd08c251821a16920c4b57263dc8a2f8fc3348923" on windows and the same sha256:b9a918323 fcb82484b5a51ecd08c251821a16920c4b57263dc8a2f8fc3348923 on linux.

Making it complicated to share models on a single external disk.

The issue has been fixed as editing the /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service file

[Service]
Environment="OLLAMA_MODELS=my_model_path"

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart ollama.service

my_mode_path is just /home/kimi/.ollama/models , and in this model folder just has two folders named blobs and manifests
In blobs folder, there have been these sha256-XXXXXXXXXX files, do not add any other model folders!

If configuration has been corrected. Then running 'ollama list'. The models will be listed.
