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.”
“Open-source CMS you can self-host. The visual content-type builder and plugin system are well-designed.”
“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.”
“For teams that need a self-hosted CMS, Strapi is the most mature open-source option. Large community.”
“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 admin panel is intuitive for content editors. Media library and internationalization are built in.”
