Example Modelfile - Tweetwriter

This simple examples shows what you can do without any code, simply relying on a Modelfile. The file has two instructions:

1. FROM - The From instructions defines the parent model to use for this one. If you choose a model from the library, you can enter just the model name. For all other models, you need to specify the namespace as well. You could also use a local file. Just include the relative path to the converted, quantized model weights file. To learn more about creating that file, see the import.md file in the docs folder of this repository.
2. SYSTEM - This defines the system prompt for the model and overrides the system prompt from the parent model.

Running the Example

1. Create the model:

   ollama create tweetwriter
   

2. Enter a topic to generate a tweet about.

3. Show the Modelfile in the REPL.

   /show modelfile
   

Notice that the FROM and SYSTEM match what was in the file. But there is also a TEMPLATE and PARAMETER. These are inherited from the parent model.
