There might be scenarios where quants might be recreated (e.g. gemma) or templates could be updated in the model registry.

If there is some way to show it during ls or pull commands as info, it can improve user experience. Users can benefit from better quantization and prompt templates accordingly.

I'd also love to see something like this:
ollama update --list
Show all the models that can be updated.
ollama update --all
Pull all the updates!

Yes, this is long overdue. It happens frequently that you download a 40GB model, one day later a version is revised and the only way to find out is by chance you check the model hash manually. I have little confidence that any of my models are the latest version, but I really have no idea unless one by one I check.

Okay, I found this: https://github.com/technovangelist/ollamamodelupdater/releases

It's a start - but its 120MB for a script. Seems like overkill. Would be great to have this function in ollama.
