CogniCLI has evolved into a **full-featured, premium AI command line** interface that supports both **Transformers and GGUF runners** with a single `--model` flag, automatic Hugging Face downloads, precision controls like `--type bf16 | fp16 | q4 | q8`, and a `--no-think` toggle for reasoning traces. We added **animated streaming output**, **ASCII logo and rich CLI colors**, and **extensive Markdown + syntax-highlighted code support** for all major programming languages. The `face` command now powers model exploration with `--list` filters, detailed `--info` model cards, README previews, and even `--files` for repo contents with file sizes and the ability to pick a specific GGUF quant file. On top of chatting and generating, CogniCLI also delivers **benchmarking tools** with latency, tokens/sec, perplexity, and JSON reports — all wrapped in a sleek, colorful interface.
