Ollama is a platform for running large language models (LLMs) locally or in the cloud, designed to make it easier to build and use AI in apps and workflows.
Run models locally or in the cloud
Ollama lets you run open models on your own machine (macOS, Windows, Linux) or use cloud-hosted models through a single interface. This setup is useful when you want more control over data, need offline testing, or plan to scale workloads in the cloud.
Chat and app integration
Ollama includes a chat interface for working with models and provides tools to embed LLM capabilities into your own products. It can be used to connect models to:
- Back-end services
- Scripts and automation
- Internal tools
- Prototypes and experiments
Built for developers and teams
Ollama is aimed at engineers, startups, and teams that want a straightforward way to experiment with open models, adapt them to specific tasks, and integrate them into existing systems without heavy infrastructure.
