Can we have an eject button for model unloading so users can be able to unload models entirely and make way for new ones?

Yes there is one! Click on the name of the model, which will show a dropdown with your other models. A green dot will appear next to the models loaded into your system ram/vram, and a small arrow pointed up will allow you to eject the model. In my experience, you will need to click the eject button a few times for the model to quickly unload.

It works with Ollama. Is this possible with Llama.cpp? I looked around and unable to find anything.

Tried editing line 437 here

/root/.local/share/uv/tools/open-webui/lib/python3.12/site-packages/open_webui/routers/ollama.py

as suggested in
