Ollama makes it easy to run open language models (such as Llama, Mistral, Qwen and Gemma) on your own computer, with a local API for your apps. Local use is free and your data never leaves the device; an optional cloud version exists.

Best for

  • Privacy-sensitive use without the cloud
  • Developers building locally with LLMs

Not ideal for

  • People without a capable computer
