smollm:135m
   Path: /var/lib/ramalama/models/ollama/smollm:135m
   Registry: ollama
   Format: GGUF
   Version: 3
   Endianness: little
   Metadata: 39 entries
   Tensors: 272 entries
```

Inspect the smollm:135m model for all information in json format

```bash theme={"system"}
$ ramalama inspect smollm:135m --all --json
{
    "Name": "smollm:135m",
    "Path": "/home/mengel/.local/share/ramalama/models/ollama/smollm:135m",
    "Registry": "ollama",
    "Format": "GGUF",
    "Version": 3,
    "LittleEndian": true,
    "Metadata": {
        "general.architecture": "llama",
        "general.base_model.0.name": "SmolLM 135M",
        "general.base_model.0.organization": "HuggingFaceTB",
        "general.base_model.0.repo_url": "https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM-135M",
        ...
    },
    "Tensors": [
        {
            "dimensions": [
                576,
                49152
            ],
            "n_dimensions": 2,
            "name": "token_embd.weight",
            "offset": 0,
            "type": 8
        },
        ...
    ]
}
```

Use the autocomplete function of `--get` to view a list of fields:

```bash theme={"system"}
$ ramalama inspect smollm:135m --get general.
general.architecture               general.languages
general.base_model.0.name          general.license
general.base_model.0.organization  general.name
general.base_model.0.repo_url      general.organization
general.base_model.count           general.quantization_version
general.basename                   general.size_label
general.datasets                   general.tags
general.file_type                  general.type
general.finetune
```

Print the value of a specific field of the smollm:135m model:

```bash theme={"system"}
$ ramalama inspect smollm:135m --get tokenizer.chat_template
{% for message in messages %}{{'<|im_start|>' + message['role'] + '
' + message['content'] + '<|im_end|>' + '
'}}{% endfor %}{% if add_generation_prompt %}{{ '<|im_start|>assistant
' }}{% endif %}
```

Print all key-value pairs of the metadata of the smollm:135m model:

```bash theme={"system"}
$ ramalama inspect smollm:135m --get all
general.architecture: llama
general.base_model.0.name: SmolLM 135M
general.base_model.0.organization: HuggingFaceTB
general.base_model.0.repo_url: https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM-135M
general.base_model.count: 1
...
```
