Ollama-Fit
- Problem
- Choosing a local model usually means downloading several large files and testing them blindly until one fits the machine.
- Decision
- I combined hardware detection, a cached Ollama catalog and an explicit heuristic that classifies each model as Good, Tight or No.
- Challenge
- Normalizing VRAM and unified memory across platforms while maintaining the catalog without an official public API.
- Result
- It ships a TUI, fit, local and doctor commands, JSON output and cross-platform binaries; verdicts are presented as estimates rather than benchmarks.
