Enthusiastic User Seeking Help with Ollama Integration and Model Configuration

[TheWhiteWord]

Dear GenAiScript Team,

I'm writing to you as a very enthusiastic user of your project. I'm incredibly excited about the potential of GenAiScript to streamline interactions with large language models, and I'm particularly interested in using it with local models managed by Ollama. The idea of a scripting language specifically designed for generative AI is fantastic, and I see tremendous value in this tool.

However, I've run into some significant roadblocks while trying to configure GenAiScript to work with my local Oll models models. I've spent considerable time troubleshooting, and I've identified what appears to be a bug in how GenAiScript handles the model property within the script() function, especially in conjunction with system prompts and environment variables.

Here's a summary of the issues I've encountered:

• model property is ignored: When a system prompt is enabled (either explicitly with a system: [...] array, or implicitly when it falls back to the defaults), the model setting inside script({ model: "ollama:..." }) is not respected. GenAiScript defaults to a different model provider (either openai or mistral) instead, even if the ollama provider has been specified.
• vars property has no effect: When trying to set the GENAISCRIPT_MODEL_LARGE, GENAISCRIPT_MODEL_SMALL or GENAISCRIPT_MODEL_VISION settings using the vars property of the script() function, GenAiScript ignores those variables as well. The vars setting is not being correctly applied, and this will cause unexpected behavior.
• Environment variables are the only reliable configuration: It seems that environment variables are the only reliable way to set the large, small and vision model to use with the system.
• Default Model Issues: GenAiScript falls back to openai or mistral models by default, even if an ollama model is explicitly provided with the model setting in the script() method.
• ollama pull always happens: The ollama pull <model> call is always executed, even if the model is already downloaded. This might be unrelated to the main issue.

I have tried all methods available in the documentation (setting model directly, using aliases, using environment variables, using explicit and implicit system prompts, console.log for debugging, etc), and I have also tried with all configuration options, including setting an empty system prompt array system: [. Unfortunately, none of them have been able to solve the issue.

I understand that software development is complex and that bugs can happen. I've attached a detailed trace of one of my attempts, which clearly shows that the correct model is not being used. I am happy to provide more information if needed.

I am eager to see GenAiScript working smoothly with local models, and I truly believe this is an amazing project that is going to be extremely useful. Thank you for all your work and dedication, and I hope you can fix this issue soon. I look forward to using this tool in the future!

Sincerely,
TheWW

Which ollama model are you trying to load? Could you share minimal script repros for those issue and we'll take a look.

[pelikhan]

vars property has no effect: When trying to set the GENAISCRIPT_MODEL_LARGE, GENAISCRIPT_MODEL_SMALL or GENAISCRIPT_MODEL_VISION settings using the vars property of the script() function, GenAiScript ignores those variables as well. The vars setting is not being correctly applied, and this will cause unexpected behavior.

These variables are meant to be set in a .env file; not are not really related at all to vars. Did you want to configure the aliases in the script itself?

[pelikhan]

model property is ignored: When a system prompt is enabled (either explicitly with a system: [...] array, or implicitly when it falls back to the defaults), the model setting inside script({ model: "ollama:..." }) is not respected. GenAiScript defaults to a different model provider (either openai or mistral) instead, even if the ollama provider has been specified.

This is my repro:

script({ model:"ollama:llama3.2:1b"})
$`Write a short poem in python.`

and the output

run 5451229f0abc: starting poem
genaiscript: poem
ollama: pull llama3.2:1b
chat: sending 2 messages to ollama:llama3.2:1b (~223 tokens)

```python
# A short poem in Python (using f-strings)

print("The sun shines bright")
print("With rays that light up the night")

def my_function():
    print("You too can shine so bright!")

my_function()
```

[pelikhan]

ollama pull always happens: The ollama pull call is always executed, even if the model is already downloaded. This might be unrelated to the main issue.

This happens once during the lifetime of genaiscript and ensures the model is available. We could also try our luck, fail and download the model as an alternate strategy.

I'm using Open Interpreter in VSCode. I've tried to use the exact script from the documentation and still receive the "run ... : completed with 0" message. I've also tried to run the script with different models, but the issue persists. I've checked the log files and they don't seem to provide any useful information. I've tried reinstalling both Open Interpreter and GenAIScript, but the problem remains. Furthermore, I've tried running the script in a separate terminal and in a new VSCode window, but the issue persists. I'm not sure what else to try. I'm hoping that someone here might have encountered a similar issue and can provide some guidance. Here is the script I'm trying to run:

Operating System: Win 11
GenAIScript Execution Method: Vscode terminal

Actions Taken

Installed GenAIScript using the command: npm install -g genaiscript

$ npm install -g genaiscript

Created a Script:

npx genaiscript scripts create test 
(node:2928) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The `punycode` module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
created script at E:\AiPrj\GenaiScript\genaisrc\test.genai.mjs
updating genaisrc\.gitignore
updating genaisrc\tsconfig.json
updating genaisrc\genaiscript.d.ts
compiling genaisrc/*.{mjs,.mts}
genaisrc> npx --yes --package typescript\@5.7.2 tsc --project E:\\AiPrj\\GenaiScript\\genaisrc\\tsconfig.json

Compiled:

$ npx genaiscript scripts compile
(node:8852) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The `punycode` module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.

compiling genaisrc/*.{mjs,.mts}
genaisrc> npx --yes --package typescript\@5.7.2 tsc --project E:\\AiPrj\\GenaiScript\\genaisrc\\tsconfig.json

Tested the script:

Minimal Reproducible Example:

$ npx genaiscript run test
(node:6452) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The `punycode` module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
genaiscript: test
  trace: E:\AiPrj\GenaiScript\.genaiscript\runs\test\2024-12-13T11-01-38-651Z.trace.md
chat: sending 2 messages to mistral:mistral-large-latest (~223 tokens)

I dont have mistral so:

genaiscript: error
  mistral:mistral-large-latest> 0 tokens (0 -> 0)
  trace: E:\AiPrj\GenaiScript\.genaiscript\runs\test\2024-12-13T11-01-38-651Z.trace.md
LLM error (401): Unauthorized

Therefore i change to ollama model:

script({
    model: "ollama:Baby.Coder:latest",
})

$`Write a short poem in code.`

outpout:

npx genaiscript run test
$ npx genaiscript run test
(node:14944) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The `punycode` module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
genaiscript: test
  trace: E:\AiPrj\GenaiScript\.genaiscript\runs\test\2024-12-13T11-03-53-201Z.trace.md
ollama: pull Baby.Coder:latest
genaiscript: success
  trace: E:\AiPrj\GenaiScript\.genaiscript\runs\test\2024-12-13T11-03-53-201Z.trace.md

I get success but i dont get a poem.

In the terminal where I am serving Ollama:

[GIN] 2024/12/13 - 12:09:39 | 500 |    675.4112ms |       127.0.0.1 | POST     "/api/pull"

If i run using the vscode extension i get the output but the terminal shows the 500 error.

Action:

Output:

run b5a9bb16a4e8: starting test
genaiscript: test
ollama: pull Baby.Coder:latest
genaiscript: success

run b5a9bb16a4e8: completed with 0

with no output poem.

3. Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Based on Documentation:

Now, refering to the GenAIScript documentation and the Ollama documentation:

• Using .env variables:

I set an .env file (and .gitignore)

OLLAMA_HOST=http://127.0.0.1:11434
GENAISCRIPT_MODEL_LARGE="ollama:Baby-Coder:latest"
GENAISCRIPT_MODEL_SMALL="ollama:Baby-Coder:latest"
GENAISCRIPT_MODEL_VISION="ollama:Baby-Coder:latest"

and run simply:

$`Write a short poem in code.`

but same result, no poem output. And the error on the terminal is always the same.

Try this:

{
"envFile": "./.env",
"model": "ollama:Baby-Coder:latest"
       
}

but same result.

[pelikhan]

this bug report is great!

[pelikhan]

I've improved the Ollama support to check if the model is present first. 143ac3a

[pelikhan]

(in general feel free to open separate issues for each problem you find, it's easier to track - but the details in this thread is great too)

[pelikhan]

genaiscript was silently failing if pull model failed

[TheWhiteWord]

Glad I could help.
By the way, i managed to make it work with the more detailed doc that you sent. I don't know how i missed them. Thank you for taking the time to look at this.

And take the opportunity to compliment you and the team on the project. Is awesome. Best
