> the file gets copied into Ollama’s hashed blob storage, you still can’t share the GGUF with other tool

This is the reason I had stopped using it. I think they might be doing it for deduplication however it makes it impossible to use the same model with other tools. Every other tool can just point to the same existing gguf and can go. Whether its their intention or not, it's making it difficult to try out other tools. Model files are quite large as you know and storage and download can become issues. (They are for me)
