Reviewer scorecard
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“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.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“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.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
“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.”
