Sweep the gallery for entries that are alternative builds of the same
weights (different quantization, precision, or runtime format) and declare
them as variants of a single parent row, so the listing offers one row per
model instead of one row per quantization and the installer picks the
largest build that this host can actually run.
41 families over 95 entries, turning 54 entries into variants.
The parent is the bare-named entry wherever one exists, so nothing changes
about what any existing entry installs. Ranking already selects the largest
fitting build regardless of which entry is nominally the parent, so the
parent only decides the pathological case where nothing fits. For the ten
families that have no bare-named entry, the smallest build is the parent,
since that is the one that has to install when nothing fits.
Grouping was verified against the actual model filenames rather than the
entry names alone. Different parameter sizes, languages, finetunes, and
products that merely share a name prefix are left as separate rows: the
qwen3.6 APEX and pi-tune finetunes, the DFlash and MTP speculative-decoding
pairings, English-only versus multilingual Whisper, the QAT versus non-QAT
Gemma 4 weights, and the abliterated FLUX build are all distinct models.
Six parents define YAML anchors that other entries pull in with a merge key,
which would have handed their variants to every merging child. For the two
depth-anything anchors that would have made fourteen unrelated entries
advertise the base model's builds as their own. All 26 merging children
therefore carry an explicit empty variants list, which overrides the merged
key and is equivalent to the key being absent.
