Ollama is a "easymode" LLM runtime and as such has all the problems that every easymode thing has. It will assume things and the moment you want to do anything interesting those assumptions will shoot you in the foot, though I've found ollama plays so fast and loose even first party things that "should just work" do not. For example if you run R1 (at least as of 2 days ago when i tried this) using the default `ollama run deepseek-r1:7b` you will get different context size, top_p and temperature vs what Deepseek recommends in their release post.

Ollama definitely is a strange beast. The sparseness of the documentation seems to imply that things will 'just work' and yet, they often don't.
