1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

Problem Description:

Currently, Ollama requires users to manually add models, which is a tedious and inefficient process. Users need to:

Manually find and copy the name of each model.

Manually add each model in Ollama.

Repeatedly fill in the base URL every time a model is added.

These repetitive tasks waste a lot of users' time and effort.

Suggested Improvements:

Automatically fetch model list: Ollama should be able to automatically fetch the list of available models from the official or other specified sources.

Batch add models: Allow users to select multiple models from the list and add them to Ollama in one go.

Preset base URLs: Allow users to preset one or more commonly used base URLs, which can be directly selected when adding models, without having to manually enter them every time.

Model search and filtering: Provide search and filtering functions in the model list to help users quickly find the models they need.

Automatically update models: Automatically update the list of available models regularly.

UI optimization: Optimize the interface for adding models to make it more intuitive and user-friendly.

Benefits of Improvements:

Improved efficiency: Simplifies the model addition process, reduces repetitive operations, and saves users time.

Enhanced user experience: Makes Ollama easier to use and lowers the barrier to entry.

Reduced errors: Automatically fetching the model list avoids manual input errors.

thanks!
