This page is the index of the tools that read it — in the visitor's browser, without downloading weights and without running anything. | The question | The tool | |---|---| | Which model should I even try? | [Find a model that fits](https://huggingface.co/spaces/aleada/model-search-that-answers) | | How much context can I actually serve? | [What context will actually fit?](https://huggingface.co/spaces/aleada/what-context-fits) | | How do I run it correctly? | [Does this model need a reasoning parser?](https://huggingface.co/spaces/aleada/reasoning-parser-advisor) | | What did this quantized pack really compress? | [How much of this pack is actually 4-bit?](https://huggingface.co/spaces/aleada/pack-precision-map) | | Is the pack what it claims to be? | [Does this pack keep what it claims?](https://huggingface.co/spaces/aleada/pack-integrity-check) | Put a model in the box and every step opens with it already filled in — `?repo=owner/model` is read by each tool, so a model travels with you through the chain instead of being retyped five times. ## Why metadata is enough A model repo publishes its architecture, its attention topology, its tensor index and its chat template before you download a byte of weights. Almost every serving failure — it will not fit, the context is too long, the answers come back empty, the pack is not what its name says — is decidable from that alone. None of these tools loads a model, so none of them can tell you how *good* it is. They tell you whether it will work, and what it will cost. ## Development The list of tools lives once, in `space-shared/tools.js`, and is copied into each Space at deploy time. This page renders from that same registry rather than from its own copy — a landing page listing tools from a private list is the first place a rename goes stale, and the one page where a dead link costs the most. ```bash ./stage-shared.sh ./deploy.sh aleada/start-here ``` Built from the tooling behind the [aleada](https://huggingface.co/aleada) W4A16 packs.
