Ollama: pull model manifest: file does not exist

The message

pull model manifest: file does not exist

What it means

The registry has no model under that name and tag. It is almost always a typo or a tag that was never published, not a network problem.

Why it happens

• A misspelt name, or a size tag that does not exist for that model.
• A Hugging Face GGUF requested without the hf.co/ prefix, or with a quant tag the repo does not contain.

How to fix it

1. Copy the exact name and tag from the model's page on ollama.com.
2. For Hugging Face: ollama pull hf.co/<user>/<repo>:<quant>, with a quant level that file list actually has.
