(CA) b11536: ui: Models Manager Follow-up Improvements (#30228)

llama.cpp update improves model manager with offline context length sorting

The llama.cpp project has released an update, version b11536, focusing on improvements to its Models Manager. This update allows the system to read the trained context length directly from GGUF model metadata, eliminating the need for external API calls to Hugging Face Hub for this information. The server component now reports this context length, enabling the UI to sort and filter models offline, enhancing the user experience for managing large language models. AI

IMPACT Enhances the usability and efficiency of managing local LLM deployments.
