Description
I had 100+ GB of the same models downloaded two or three times: once by Ollama, again by ComfyUI, again by Pinokio. So I built this. - One scan finds every model across Ollama, ComfyUI, LM Studio, Hugging Face, Pinokio & more - Spots identical files by content and merges them into one Vault, so each model exists once - Paste a Hugging Face or Civitai link to see if it fits your VRAM before downloading 100% local. No account, no telemetry.

Could you build this?
Yes The utility simply scans well-known directory paths for local AI apps (e.g., ~/.ollama, Hugging Face cache), hashes file contents, and creates hardlinks or symlinks to deduplicate files.
