Do they still not let you change the default model folder? You had to go through this whole song and dance to manually register a model via a pointless dockerfile wannabe that then seemed to copy the original model into their hash storage (again, unable to change where that storage lived).

At the time I dropped it for LMStudio, which to be fair was not fully open source either, but at least exposed the model folder and integrated with HF rather than a proprietary model garden for no good reason.

Actually they do. It's environment variable OLLAMA_MODELS in the server configuration file.

Yet people claim it has great UI... And still you can't define that in their GUI...

		Why would you want to change a server configuration inside a client GUI? The server runs separately.

This also annoyed me a lot. I was running it before upgrading the SSD storage and I wanted to compare with LM Studio. Figured it would be good to have both interfaces use the same models downloaded from HF.

Had to go down the same rabbit hole of finding where things are, how they're sorted/separated/etc. It was unnecessarily painful
