Error: pull model manifest: realm host "huggingface.co" does not match original host "hf.co"

OrcaRouter org

Hi, thanks for reporting this!

This isn't a problem with the model files — it's an Ollama client-side error. When Ollama pulls from hf.co/..., Hugging Face's auth token endpoint (the realm in the WWW-Authenticate header) points at huggingface.co, while your pull started from hf.co. Some Ollama versions have a strict security check that rejects a token realm whose host differs from the original registry host, which is exactly what you're hitting:

realm host "huggingface.co" does not match original host "hf.co"

The downloads themselves are fine. To fix it:

  1. Update Ollama to the latest version and retry — this is by far the most common fix.
  2. Use the canonical shorthand exactly, with hf.co (not huggingface.co):
ollama run hf.co/orcarouter/OrcaCyber-Nano-1.0:<QUANT>
  1. If you're behind a corporate proxy / VPN, try bypassing it — a proxy can rewrite the auth realm host and trigger this check.
  2. As a fallback that skips Ollama's registry path entirely, download the .gguf from the Files and versions tab (or curl -L the resolve/main/... URL) and import it with a Modelfile:
echo 'FROM ./OrcaCyber-Nano-1.0-<QUANT>.gguf' > Modelfile
ollama create orcacyber-nano -f Modelfile

Updating Ollama resolves this in almost all cases. Let us know if it still fails after that!
