Feat: download from huggingface

[sammcj]

Would tie in nicely with a modelfile templates, but could just pop up vim with a default template pre-populated with the basics.

Would love to download HF models using gollama as the ollama registry is a bit restrictive. I see this issue is marked as complete but not sure how to access that feature. Any clues?

[sammcj]

Hey I just closed it off as thought maybe I skip looking into the idea, I'll consider it again but need to check overlap with other tools.

[remon-nashid]

That's great to hear @sammcj , it would be yet another limitation of ollama (access to a wider selection of ggufs) that gollama tackles. From my point of view, it's even handier than the bi-directional linking with LM Studio, as the later feels like stepping on LM Studio's toes at times. While with ollama, you're just providing a feature that wasn't there. Just my two cents.

Really appreciate this tool and how it facilitates managing local modals.

i completely agree @remon-nashid . i mean, how about we maintain a registry that we could continuously update, that gollama could pull from, which would contain code for automatic installation and configuration of "popular" models from huggingface. i mean the current state of gollama is okay; just a fancy wrapper around ollama CLI but this feature would be sick. especially for people who are not very well versed with python, pytorch, diffusers which is always a pain to setup.

Why don't you contribute to make it more than that then? @YugandharrPatil

[YugandharrPatil]

would love to if you're up for this idea. did u understand what I meant? will go through and understand the codebase soon!

[YugandharrPatil]

ohh and the "just" a fancy ollama wrapper part was constructive criticism, suggesting a new feature in the later part. in case you wrote that to provoke me, I don't really care man, it's your project.

[sammcj]

Not sure what's so constructive about it but ok.

If you wanted to have a go a contributing the feature you want I'd be happy to review it.
