Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/9486

ollama create will copy a locally cloned HuggingFace repo to %TEMP% as part of the conversion to GGUF and quantization process - is there any way to avoid this duplication of the Safetensors files (to avoid filling up disk space)?

Convert with llama.cpp first, then import the quantized GGUF file.
