Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior from the Python script while checking how OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL, OLLAMA_NUM_GPU, and OLLAMA_NUM_THREAD are passed to the Ollama process. Confirm whether the variables are expected to affect requests from ollama-python and define completion as the documented settings taking effect for parallel LLM requests.
