ModelForge: Provider-Aware Model Targets For Archive Tools

ModelForge is part of the Knott Dynamics public software line. ModelForge packages model-provider target parsing primitives for archive tools that need Hugging Face, Ollama, and CivitAI handling.

What It Does

ModelForge is a small Rust library for provider-aware model target parsing. It gives archive tools a reusable way to normalize model targets and keep Hugging Face, Ollama, CivitAI, and generic model flows out of ad hoc command parsing.

Why It Matters

Archive workflows get brittle when provider rules are copied between tools. ModelForge keeps model target handling in one crate so Thesa and companion tooling can share the same parsing boundary.

Operator Notes

• Use ModelForge when an archive workflow needs model-provider normalization before a pull begins.
• Keep it library-only so CLI behavior remains owned by the calling archive tool.
• Track the 0.1.x line closely because it crossed the public threshold on the same day it launched.

Release Shape

The current public build tracks ModelForge v0.1.10, 134 package downloads, and 11 published versions.
