Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:
I suspect your Ollama version is before 0.6.0 ( you said 0.0.0 there ) gemma3 ( or any other model ) can be pulled regardless of what Ollama version you have, but only 0.6.0 and after can run the gemma3 line ( in all sizes ) And right now we are at 0.6.4 which has had several gemma3 -specific updates.
