When creating a Lofispark instance, the user picks one named preset (e.g. "Ollama + Llama 3.1 8B") instead of always receiving the bare CUDA image. Preset tools are baked into the VM image so they cost zero install time; the matching model weights are served from a shared, operator-staged cache on the Spark so they appear in the VM instantly.
