Reviewer scorecard
“The demo is impressive but real-world usage reveals rough edges.”
“Local AI is the future for privacy and cost. As models get smaller and hardware gets better, Ollama becomes the default way to run AI. They are building the runtime layer.”
“The API design is thoughtful. Integrates well with existing stacks.”
“Been using this for 3 months — it's become indispensable.”
“Local models still lag behind cloud models in quality. But for development, testing, and privacy-sensitive use cases, Ollama is the obvious choice. Free is hard to beat.”
“The Docker of LLMs. Pull a model, run it, use the API. Privacy, no cloud costs, works offline. Essential tool for any developer experimenting with local AI.”
