Reviewer scorecard
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“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.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“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.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
“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.”
