Ollama

Ollama is a powerful tool designed to simplify the process of running large language models (LLMs) and other open-source AI models directly on your personal computer. It handles the complexities of model weights, configurations, and dependencies, allowing users to download and run models with minimal effort. This local execution capability is crucial for developers who want to build AI applications without constant reliance on cloud services, ensuring data privacy and reducing operational costs. The platform supports a growing library of open models and is available across macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Beyond local execution, Ollama also integrates with cloud models, providing a flexible environment for both local and hybrid AI workflows. It aims to be a foundational piece of infrastructure for anyone looking to leverage the power of modern AI models in a controlled and efficient manner.
