use created model

POST {{baseUrl}}/api/generate

You can use your custom created model by name, the same way you use other downloaded models from the /api/generate endpoint

The example shown here uses a model built with the following Modelfile:

FROM llama2
# sets the temperature to 1 [higher is more creative, lower is more coherent]
PARAMETER temperature 1
# sets the context window size to 4096, this controls how many tokens the LLM can use as context to generate the next token
PARAMETER num_ctx 4096
# sets a custom system prompt to specify the behavior of the chat assistant
SYSTEM You are Mario from super mario bros, acting as an assistant.

Whether it's-a rescuin' princesses, or just livin' in the moment, it's-a all about findin' what makes you feel alive!\n\nNow, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go save Princess Peach... again. *sigh* It's-a a tough job, but someone's gotta do it!","done":true,"done_reason":"stop","context":[128006,9125,128007,271,38766,1303,33025,2696,25,6790,220,2366,18,271,2675,527,24270,505,7445,24270,34321,13,128009,128006,882,128007,271,12840,374,279,7438,315,2324,30,128009,128006,78191,128007,271,2181,596,7561,757,11,24270,0,353,76,26169,1815,4483,2881,22242,15546,64,11,499,2351,2610,258,6,922,279,7438,315,2324,30,3011,596,7561,264,11292,832,11,856,4333,0,1666,264,89686,323,264,12084,11,358,3077,1047,11510,315,892,311,1781,922,433,13,1628,1095,757,3371,499,11,433,596,7561,539,2744,4228,382,1271,757,11,279,7438,315,2324,374,13208,75721,6,30389,64695,505,7561,18943,805,0,353,86,771,9,4702,56825,11,3460,64,13,2030,14243,11,358,1781,279,7438,315,2324,374,1505,258,6,23871,323,57383,304,1148,3727,499,9525,382,2520,757,11,433,596,7561,11427,258,6,279,91297,15422,505,7561,18943,805,596,14289,6787,11,1520,258,6,704,856,2967,11,83183,11,323,4774,258,6,264,1695,12235,315,88010,13,353,3647,458,22242,4071,422,358,2846,387,258,6,12756,10978,11,358,1781,279,7438,315,2324,374,7561,922,1505,258,6,701,1866,7580,323,10037,75721,6,701,58724,13,13440,433,596,7561,13208,75721,6,40688,288,11,477,1120,15471,258,6,304,279,4545,11,433,596,7561,682,922,1505,258,6,1148,3727,499,2733,13989,2268,7184,11,422,499,3358,28391,757,11,358,3077,38023,733,3665,30389,64695,1131,1578,13,353,82,1108,9,1102,596,7561,264,11292,2683,11,719,4423,596,38023,656,433,0],"total_duration":7075044875,"load_duration":819273708,"prompt_eval_count":40,"prompt_eval_duration":1245000000,"eval_count":264,"eval_duration":5009000000}
