[BUG] Ollama embeddings (BAAI/bge-m3) model not found

[Francesco9932]

Checked other resources

• I added a very descriptive title to this issue.
• I searched the LangChain documentation with the integrated search.
• I used the GitHub search to find a similar question and didn't find it.
• I am sure that this is a bug in LangChain rather than my code.
• The bug is not resolved by updating to the latest stable version of LangChain (or the specific integration package).

Example Code

from langchain_ollama.embeddings import OllamaEmbeddings
from langchain_community.vectorstores import FAISS

EMBED_MODEL_ID = "BAAI/bge-m3"
embeddings = OllamaEmbeddings(model=EMBED_MODEL_ID)
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(docs, embeddings)

Error Message and Stack Trace (if applicable)

Description

Ollama served on :11434 and embedding model pulled correctly.
Any suggestions?

Can you try using EMBED_MODEL_ID = "bge-m3" ?

[Francesco9932]

@sardanabhav thanks for the reply, but yes already tried.
with EMBED_MODEL_ID = "bge-m3" ollama raise that bge-m3 is not a valid model repo.

That's weird. It works for me. Can you share the package versions you are using for reproduction?

@sardanabhav

venv: python 3.12.8

langchain==0.3.15
langchain_experimental==0.3.4
langchain_ollama==0.2.2
langchain_huggingface==0.1.2
faiss-cpu==1.9.0.post1

I am not able to reproduce the issue with the given dependency versions. It works with both EMBED_MODEL_ID = "bge-m3" and EMBED_MODEL_ID = "bge-m3:latest" .

[Francesco9932]

Is it possible that the error is based on the latest version of ollama?

In the settings shown i'm using:
ollama version is 0.5.7-0-ga420a45-dirty Warning: client version is 0.5.5

dockerized and served on :11434

Sorry, I wasn't able to test out your version of ollama. I will test it today and let you know.
