Ollama

Run Llama, Mistral and friends locally with one command.

Ollama is an open-source tool for running large language models locally with a single command. It packages model weights, configuration, and a runtime (built on llama.cpp) into a simple CLI and local HTTP server, handling model downloading, quantization formats, and GPU acceleration across macOS, Linux, and Windows. It exposes a REST API and an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, making local models easy to call from applications.

What you'd build with it

  • Running open-weight models like Llama, Mistral, or Qwen locally for private, offline inference during development
  • Serving a local model behind an OpenAI-compatible API so existing app code can switch from cloud to local with minimal changes
  • Prototyping agents and RAG pipelines against local models to avoid per-token API costs
