Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/4835

As the number of different models grow it would be great to add some sort of capabilities property to /tags response.
This property should contain information about what kind of input a model can have:

  • since ollama now also includes modes that are able to accept process images (think llava)
  • some models can only be used to generate embeddings
  • some models are good with code, others are better at story telling
  • in the future there might be modes that can also return images as part of the response
  • etc
    This would insure a UI front-end is able to know whether users should be allowed to send certain types of data to a model
