    Conventions

    Conventions#

    Model names#

    Model names follow a model:tag format, where model can have an optional namespace such as example/model. Some examples are orca-mini:3b-q4_1 and llama3:70b. The tag is optional and, if not provided, will default to latest. The tag is used to identify a specific version.

    Durations#

    All durations are returned in nanoseconds.

    Streaming responses#

    Certain endpoints stream responses as JSON objects. Streaming can be disabled by providing {"stream": false} for these endpoints.
