I just updated and a bit annoying by default gemma3:4b was selected that I don't have on my local. I guess would be nicer to default to one of the models that are present.
It was nice it started downloading it but also there was no indication I don't have that model before hand until I opened drop-down to see download buttons.
But of course nice job guys.
Thanks for the kind words. Sorry about that, we are working out some of the initial experience for Ollama.
The need to start a chat for a model that is not currently downloaded in order to initiate a download confused me for a minute the first time I tried it out. A more intuitive approach (which is the first thing I tried to do before I figured it out) might be to make the download icons in the model list clickable, to initiate a download. Then you could display a download progress bar in the list, and when models have been downloaded show a little "info" icon that is also clickable to display the model card, surface other model specific options, and enable deletion. Love the new UI, kudos!
Big thanks to you and your team for this. My first time tying offline models, will the github cli use the same models by default (MacOS)?
