Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/7185

I recently had an idea. What if there was a command to search and browse the model library from the ollama CLI?

I'm imagining something like ollama search llama3 and ollama browse.

For example, the search would return like (rough example, GitHub formatting kinda broke it and I don't know how to fix it):

MODEL LATEST SIZE PARAMETERS
llama3 4.7GB 8B, 70B
llama3.1 4.7GB 8B, 70B, 405B
llama3.2 2.0GB 1B, 3B
[username]/[model] [size] [parameters]

Browse would be the same, but it would sort from newest model first. (Maybe the potential to sort by most popular and stuff like the library website?)

I hope the devs think this is a good idea because I'd love to see this implemented!

Thank you.

#1070

Ah, I didn't see this (I was using wrong search terms) but this does seems to be more about adding an API into the library for a potential CLI integration (It may not end up like that, so that's why I said potential) rather than my one which is about how the integration into the CLI would work. That issue as well does not mention how the integration would be laid out and how it'd work clientside unlike my one here.

In my opinion, I still think this issue is valid. Issue 1070 is similar but not the same as this one.

I will state that this is how I see it so do let me know if I'm actually wrong here. I'm open to constructive criticism as long as it doesn't become an argument. :D

This issue isn't invalid. The ollama CLI is just a wrapper around ollama APIs. APIs are where the bulk of the work will be, adding features to the CLI after the APIs are deployed will be relatively simple.

I'm so sorry, I forgot how this worked. I thought they were talking about only server side.
