lk sync-catalog
Refresh the local model catalog from the canonical GCS catalog.json.
What it does
Refresh the local model catalog from the canonical GCS catalog.json.
Local Keep AI already does this in the background on every startup (1-hour cache). Use this command to force an immediate refresh — e.g. after a new model just dropped on the Ollama library or a new GGUF was uploaded to the sage-ai-models bucket.
Usage
Run lk sync-catalog from your terminal. Add --help to any command to see its full flag list, which is always authoritative over this page.

Where this is defined
sync-catalog is declared in ai-platform/sage/commands_models.py. This page is generated from that source, so it cannot describe behaviour the CLI does not have.
