I love ollama! This is sweet.

I'm a beginner with LLM stuff. I see ollama has built-in support for several models like Nous-Hermes, Orca Mini, and a couple varieties of Llama2. I'd love it if it were just as easy (or at least almost as easy?) to add support for other models we find on huggingface.co with a simple command. Then once I had done that, I could run ollama pull whatevermodel and it would just do what it was supposed to do.

@joshlewis Thank you! There is a workaround right now in that you can create a modelfile for the custom GGML models.

In the modelfile, you can specify FROM ./custom_model_name.bin and then create a model from there.

I don't agree this is completed. There's a workaround that sometimes works if you known enough to figure out how to set everything up, but it's not "simple". What I'm asking for is to make it simple.
