Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8988

I see on this page https://ollama.com/library several info, some that could be useful, some useless, some totally absent.

I don't understand why not put the RAM requirements for the video card to run the model. I think this info is much more important than knowing how many "tags" the model has.

Let's make things simple please, even if you are developers and you like to do things just for yourself... It doesn't take much effort to make things a little more accessible and understandable.

Thanks for the reply. I was referring to the listing page.

Not that that number put there without any indication is self-explanatory. it is not intuitive to go from: this is the size of the files = you need a video card with xy RAM. I am not a native developer, but I do not believe that 100% of ollama users are, on the contrary...

Accessibility and clarity of information. it is really important.

The listing page shows the family. Each member of the family can have different sizes depending on the number of parameters and the quantization level. You need to get to that level before a meaningful size can be given.
