Check Existing Issues

I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

As of now the upper left model selection has much more features than the one in creating or editing existing Models.
For example when I have multiple servers running ollama with the same LLM's on them, I cannot see the difference between them in the dropdown menu when I want to select an llm model for the Model I am working on.
This is frustrating, as when I have 3 or 4 servers and all of them run Qwen3:4b for example, I have no idea which is which as I see this in the dropdown:
qwen3:4b qwen3:4b qwen3:4b

Desired Solution you'd like

I would like to be able to hover or search the llm's and be able to toggle between that simple dropdown or the model on the top left of the page.
