Trying to run llama3 locally on my organizations's laptop for my Voice Assistant app
02:00 04 Dec 2025

I downloaded Ollama and tried pulling llama-3 model.

I ran command on my cmd:

ollama pull llama3

Got output:

pulling manifest
Error: pull model manifest: Get "https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/library/llama3/manifests/latest": dial tcp 104.21.75.227:443: i/o timeout

Do you think this is getting blocked by the Network proxy on my laptop?

To further check, I clicked on the link and got this message on web:

{"errors":[{"code":"MANIFEST_UNKNOWN","message":"manifest unknown"}]}

Usage of this llm: When a person gives a voice input, since it is in natural language (I am already using local whisper.cpp for converting Speech-to-Text), I wish the llm to work on reasoning and capturing of context to further process the response.

Some of my peers tried pulling llama3 on their personal laptops and it worked fine. If it is a network issue where it is getting blocked, what exactly should I ask my organization's network team to whitelist? And what are other alternatives?
