running model in ollama is not supported.
The following command doesn't work, which comes from the dropdown under "Use this model"ollama pull only works.
ollama run hf.co/microsoft/bitnet-b1.58-2B-4T-gguf
Error: unable to load model: C:\Users\daniel.hwang.ollama\models\blobs\sha256-4221b252fdd5fd25e15847adfeb5ee88886506ba50b8a34548374492884c2162
pls try to install the gguf file ~1GB and create a Modelfile for Ollama and configure the model path into it, and create a model using the modelfile. If you need to know more about this, just search for "how to import a custom model from Hugging Face to Ollama."

doesnt work mate its ollama that doesnt support it
llama.cpp/ollama doesnt support bitnet, you need to use bitnet.cpp from MS https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet
