Research direction
The issue requests adding support for the GGUF model format. The contributor should first understand the GGUF specification by looking at the source link provided (llama.cpp's ggml.c). Then, examine how other formats are parsed in Netron, likely in the `view.js` or similar files. Implement a new parser module that reads GGUF files and extracts model architecture and metadata. The implementation should follow the existing pattern to display the model structure. No existing PR is linked, so the work is available.
