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.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“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.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“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 best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
