Hailo-Ollama: how to install models not returned by /hailo/v1/list ?

Christopher_Tsakok · May 5, 2026, 8:05am

Hi, the Hailo-Ollama /hailo/v1/list API endpoint seems to be incomplete, as there are many models listed in the Hailo Model Zoo GenAI that aren’t returned (hailo_model_zoo_genai/docs/MODELS.rst at main · hailo-ai/hailo_model_zoo_genai · GitHub).

For example, Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct and Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct.

How do we install the models that aren’t returned by the API endpoint?

Thanks

Hi,

Hailo Ollama supports only the models returned by /hailo/v1/list API endpoint and it’s not contains all the models from the Model Zoo GenAI…

Thanks,

Hi Michael, thanks for getting back.

What is the relevance to Hailo Ollama then, of the other models listed in the Model Zoo GenAI docs?

Hi,

They can be used via HailoRT API: hailo-apps/hailo_apps/python/gen_ai_apps at main · hailo-ai/hailo-apps · GitHub

Got it, will try out the VLM chat apps at the link you’ve shared.

Thank you
