Reviewer scorecard
“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.”
“Web standards-first approach means your apps work without JavaScript. Loaders and actions are elegant patterns.”
“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 merge with React Router v7 is pragmatic. Web fundamentals and progressive enhancement are the right foundation.”
“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.”
“Merged into React Router. The ideas live on but the standalone framework identity is fading.”
