Ollama

Run open models on your computer and use them through local interfaces and APIs.

Ollama helps download, manage and run local models, and also offers cloud model services. It suits people exploring local inference or connecting models to development tools. Consider hardware memory, model licenses and task requirements together. Running a model locally does not mean every connected tool keeps all data on your machine.

Main features

• Manage and run local models
• Terminal and API interfaces
• Connect desktop apps and coding agents

Who it is for and what to check

• Developers
• Local-model users
• Hardware limits local speed and the models you can run.
• Each model has its own license; cloud services have separate charges.

Local execution can be used for free; cloud inference and subscriptions are billed separately.
