• the MESSAGE directive impacts only the interactive chat run with ollama run llama3_la
  • ollama run llama3_la <prompt> will not take that into account
  • instead, call the /api/chat directly and "translate" the message directives into the messages JSON in the API call
  • the workaround for ollama run llama3_la <prompt> is "copy" the MESSAGEs into the SYSTEM

• llama3_la - simple prompt with English "translation"
• llama3_la_adv - advanced prompt with MESSAGE / request.sh
