Perfect for developers who want to experiment with AI without cloud costs or data privacy concerns.
💬 User Experience Review
Ollama has become my daily driver for local AI development. The single-command model pulling is brilliant, and the API compatibility with OpenAI means I can use existing tools with local models. Performance with a mid-range GPU is surprisingly good for 7B-13B models. Highly recommended for privacy-conscious developers.
