Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/452

I'm interested in getting the modelfile for a model as I have ggml quantized weights already and don't want to redownload (and re-store) weights, but I don't know what the system prompts are.

Where can I browse the metadata for different models without downloading them in their entirety?

We will be adding a way to see the modelfile from the website for all our models very soon.

The content of Modelfiles are available on the website, e.g. for falcon:7b, as well through the ollama cli:

$ ollama show --modelfile falcon:7b
# Modelfile generated by "ollama show"
# To build a new Modelfile based on this one, replace the FROM line with:
# FROM falcon:7b
