Alternative models

Troubleshooting

Model not found:

ollama pull <model-name>

Slow responses:

• Try smaller model
• Check htop for RAM pressure
• Reduce --workers in swarm

Out of disk space:

# Remove unused models
ollama rm <model-name>

# Check what's installed
ollama list

Model quality issues:

• Upgrade preset: nano → small → medium
• Add more context with --read
• Simplify the task
