Ollama

Good fit for

Installing and serving local models through a runtime and API.

Why consider it

Download and run open models locally, or use separately billed cloud models.

Main limitations

Capabilities depend on the selected model and connected software. Cloud use is not local or offline. OS platform values include installed CLI/runtime access, not necessarily a graphical app.

Cost and access

Local use without a subscription; optional cloud plans and token billing are separate.

Getting started

Install the official runtime for your OS and choose a compatible local model.
