i just started to play with ollama and ramalama.. on linux. The models are quite some gigabytes.. not pretty to keep N copies.. ollama stores things under ~/.ollama/models/blobs/ named sha256-whatevershaisit ramalama stores things under ~/.local/share/ramalama/repos/ollama/blobs/ named sha256:whatevershaisit Note the ":" in ramalama names instead of the "-" .. that may not fly under windows. if one crosslinks ramalama things over to ollama with that slight rename, ollama will remove them as they are not pulled via itself - no metadata on them. i guess vllm etc everybody-else has yet-another schema and/or metadata. btw Currently, arch-linux-wise, there is llm-manager (pointing to https://github.com/xyproto/llm-manager https://github.com/xyproto/llm-manager ), but it's made dependent on some of ollama packages, and can't be installed just by itself (without overforcing).
