Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/234

Modelfile interface is currently limited to using only models officially provided by Ollama .
Providing a UI interface to browse huggingface for GGUF models , selecting and downloading them by clicking buttons and able to use them in modelfiles would be great

Ollama web server does support local files

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually been thinking of ways to implement this feature for a while now, I'll get around to it when I can, stay tuned!

Hi! I've been actively working on this feature, and intuitively showing huggingface files on the webui seems tricker than I thought :/ As an alternative, I'll be adding a feature where users can download the gguf files themselves and then upload it to the webui. Stay tuned!

It's marked as complete. You can find it in the models tab, in settings.
