Thanks for the kind words. Sorry about that, we are working out some of the initial experience for Ollama.

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)?

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!
