list_ollama_models: List GGUF models managed by Ollama

In localLLM: Running Local LLMs with 'llama.cpp' Backend

List GGUF models managed by Ollama

Description

This helper scans common Ollama installation directories for downloaded GGUF weights that can be loaded directly by the 'llama.cpp' backend. It inspects both manifest metadata (when available) and the blobs directory to return human-readable model descriptions.

Usage

list_ollama_models(min_size_mb = 50, verify = TRUE)

Arguments

min_size_mb	Minimum size (in megabytes) for a candidate GGUF file. Defaults to 50 MB to avoid tiny placeholder layers.
verify	Whether to confirm the GGUF magic header before listing the model (default 'TRUE').

Value

A data.frame with columns: 'name', 'path', 'size_mb', 'size_gb', 'size_bytes', 'sha256', 'modified', 'source', 'tag', 'model'. Returns an empty data.frame if no models are found.
