Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/10017

Current flow for running a model is:

  1. Search online for the model
  2. [Optional] view details - model size, tags, available quantizations etc.
  3. ollama run <model_tag>

Propose workflow:

  1. ollama search [model_name]
  2. ollama run <model_tag>

Users can stay within the cli to search and run models

Proposed UI:
(ignore the python src/main.py)
