Problem Description
Open-WebUI lacks a direct way to release Ollama models from memory. This limits RAM management, especially when working with multiple models.
Make a button that is similar to the one in the image given below:
Desired Solution you'd like
Implement an "Eject" button (with a clear eject icon) next to each loaded model. Clicking this button should execute ollama stop <model_name>, releasing the model from memory. Provide visual feedback (loading spinner or status change).
Consider these alternatives:
Right-click context menu option ("Eject"). This keeps the UI cleaner if space is limited.
Model status indicator showing RAM usage (like a progress bar under the text of the model); clicking it ejects the model.
"Unload All" Button: Add a button that ejects all loaded models from Ollama, useful for a complete reset.

https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/12321 is a similar pull, but it gives control to a button to eject the model in the models section of admin menu. User should not have to exit the chat in order to be able to manually eject a model loaded in VRAM via ollama.
