Notes

  • This endpoint only works for installed models (use List Models to see what’s installed)
  • The capabilities array indicates what the model can do (chat, embeddings, etc.)
  • quantization_level affects model size and performance
  • Use verbose=true for additional technical details

​
Common Quantization Levels

  • Q4_0: 4-bit quantization, smallest size, lower quality
  • Q5_K_M: 5-bit medium quality
  • Q8_0: 8-bit quantization, larger size, higher quality
