Hi, I was wondering if the current Ollama system grabs any system information regarding CPU and RAM capacities. Especially since a majority of users are on Mac, there's a finite # of hardware specs for Ollama to recognize. Then, Ollama can automatically recommend which models will run best on the user's Mac.

I think this would be easier for first-time users, and promote Ollama's accessibility for non-technicals (average MacOS users).

If this doesn't exist, I would be more than happy to make a branch with my suggestion. If the underlying CLI/code to recognize device GPU/CPU limitations already exists, I'd love to take a stab at incorporating it into the UI. I'd appreciate any direction for which part of the codebase to observe.
