For me, it worked on the first day I configured it. Now, I'm getting the same error.

Hey @riskyrun I found the solution. It's written in the article that the name of the model has to be exactly "llama-3"

However, the correct name of the model, as it is stated in Ollama, is "llama3".

Once you remove the dash, the BYOM works!

Keep in mind, that Ollama app has to work in the background for the model to run in the Brave browser.
