I don't think it does, but llama.cpp does, and can load models off HuggingFace directly (so, not limited to ollama's unofficial model mirror like ollama is).

There is no reason to ever use ollama.

I just checked their docs and can't see anything like it.

Did you mistake the command to just download and load the model?

As a sibling comment answered you, it is `-hf`.

And yes, it downloads the model, caches it, and then serves future loads of that model out of the cache if the file hasn't changed in the hf repo.

So I'm summary: no, it does not have an equivalent command either.

-hf ModelName:Q4_K_M

sure there's a reason...it works fine thats the reason
