:grey_question: About

In some usecases, I would need to get rid of the cli thinking animation:

⠙ ⠹ ⠹ ⠼ ⠴ ⠦ ⠧ ⠇ ⠏ ⠋ ⠙ ⠹ ⠸ ⠼ ⠴ ⠦ ⠧ ⠇ ⠏ ⠋ ⠋ ⠹ ⠹ ⠼ ⠴ ⠦ ⠧ ⠇ ⠏ ⠏ ⠋ ⠹ ⠸ ⠼ ⠴ ⠦ ⠧ ⠇ ⠏

Would it possible, when we run a ollama run command to remove the animation ?

This would look like:

1. ollama run zephyr --silent "What is the meaning of life?"
2. Wait while thinking (nofeedback provided because of the --silent option)
3. See the answer streaming in the terminal

Hey @adriens is the animation getting animated incorrectly? I'm just wondering what the use case is.

[adriens]

Hi @pdevine , thanks for the followup, here is the current behavior. :point_right: Everything runs perfectly well on a classis terminal

, it's in the very specific case when running on a Jupyter Notebook, see 🦙 ollama running local models w/LlamaIndex (CPU) below :

Hope this helps :crossed_fingers:

[pdevine]

@adriens Have you tried out the new python bindings?

[adriens]

Not yet, but I will :

:thought_balloon: The next time I work on ollama, I'll use python sdk :muscle: :sunglasses: :star_struck:

@adriens are you OK to close the issue? I'm not sure we need this, but can always reopen in the future.

Yup :ok_hand: It's rather a proposal :thought_balloon:
