running model in ollama is not supported.
The following command doesn't work, which comes from the dropdown under "Use this model"ollama pull only works.

pls try to install the gguf file ~1GB and create a Modelfile for Ollama and configure the model path into it, and create a model using the modelfile. If you need to know more about this, just search for "how to import a custom model from Hugging Face to Ollama."

doesnt work mate its ollama that doesnt support it
llama.cpp/ollama doesnt support bitnet, you need to use bitnet.cpp from MS https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet
