Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2544

I'd like to create a UI where users have the option of clicking any model listed in https://ollama.com/library and that model would be pulled in the background. Right now I provide free text for users to insert the model and tag but model:tag can get pretty long and error prone for users to type it.

Alternatively instead of a new api endpoint to get this information, add a boolean parameter remote to /api/tags to show remote, downloadable models.

Is this something that an open-source contributor can add? I'd be willing to help add support for listing remote models.

Sorry for the slow response on this. We definitely want to do something with this in the future.

Going to close this as a dupe of #1070
