Getting an error when trying to set the system message, code below:

ollama._types.ResponseError: no FROM line for the model was specified

def ollama_chat_response(message, history, model, system):
    try:
        ollama.chat(model)
    except ollama.ResponseError as e:
        print('Error:', e.error)
        if e.status_code == 404:
            print(f"Pulling model {model}" )
            yield f"Downloading model {model}" 
            ollama.pull(model)

    ollama.create(model=model, modelfile=modelfile)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shown ollama.create(model=model, modelfile=modelfile) call and the subsequent ollama.chat invocation with the supplied function. Trace how the Modelfile and system message are handled, then define the expected behavior and add coverage for the failing case before confirming the error is resolved.
