lf models

Manage and interact with models configured in your project. The models command provides subcommands to list available models and switch between them during chat sessions.

Synopsis​

lf models list [namespace/project] [flags]

If you omit namespace/project, the CLI resolves them from llamafarm.yaml.

Subcommands​

lf models list​

List all models configured in your project with their descriptions and providers.

lf models list                    # List models from current project
lf models list company/project    # List models from specific project

Output includes:

  • Model name (used for --model flag)
  • Description
  • Provider (ollama, lemonade, openai, etc.)
  • Default status

Using Models​

After listing available models, use them in chat commands:

# Use a specific model
lf chat --model powerful "Complex reasoning question"

# Use the default model (no flag needed)
lf chat "Regular question"

Multi-Model Configuration​

Configure multiple models in llamafarm.yaml:

runtime:
  default_model: fast

  models:
    fast:
      description: "Fast Ollama model"
      provider: ollama
      model: gemma3:1b

    powerful:
      description: "More capable model"
      provider: ollama
      model: qwen3:8b

    lemon:
      description: "Lemonade local model"
      provider: lemonade
      model: user.Qwen3-4B
      base_url: "http://127.0.0.1:11534/v1"
      lemonade:
        backend: llamacpp
        port: 11534
