If you’re a blog reader or follow me on social media, you already know I’m a huge fan of Ollama. It is an excellent platform for running Large Language Models locally. It’s easy to use and powerful. There are “easier” programs out there like LMStudio and GPT4All that are simpler to set up. However, Ollama gives you a lot more control and can be customized very nicely. You can be running models or even writing AI-powered applications in minutes.
