Ollama
Ollama provides a command line and API for downloading, running, and calling open models on a personal computer or server.
Audience
Developers who want to try models locally, control where data flows, or provide a local model service to development tools.
Use cases
- Run a model locally and interact with it from the command line.
- Connect scripts and development tools through a local API.
- Deploy with the official Docker image on a GPU-enabled Linux system.
Get started
Strengths
Installation and invocation are direct, and locally processed data does not need to be sent to a third-party inference service.
Limitations
Available model size and speed depend on system memory, GPU memory, and operating-system support. Verify cloud and local model data paths separately.
