Can we get an ollama.stop?

[JTMarsh556]

ollama stop was a great addition. I was hoping we could get stop added to the API library.

Thanks

I second this as well. And to keep things clear. I'm talking about making available in the ollama python lib the same behavior you get when you run ollama stop <target_model> from terminal. Which is what I believe what JTMarsh556 is also asking.

I'm writing a script and want to be able to call it with different models as a parameter, but I need to be able to have the script stop the model it's using at the end of it's execution, that way the way is clear for if I call with a different model.

The generate and chat methods both accept a float for keep-alive. When hot-switching models, I set my keep-alive=0 at the call and it should unload immediately (at least that's been my observation).

Great - thanks for bringing - will scope in :)

Also, as I understand, there can be multiple generations at once through AsyncClient. So better would be adding stop function as returning handle from client.chat, client.generate and etc.
