 ## How it works
 
 1. **Auto-detect everything.** Scans for GGUF models in LM Studio and Hugging Face cache directories, and checks managed backends like Ollama/oMLX through their local APIs. Reads model metadata (quantization, context size, vision, thinking mode) directly from GGUF files. No presets, no manual configuration.
