Ollama
Manage models locally and connect applications through CLI and API
Ollama serves developers and local-model users with model downloads, execution and application interfaces. Compared with LM Studio in this directory, its main additional value here is command-line and service integration rather than another chat window. Official downloads cover Windows, macOS and Linux. Local performance depends on the model and hardware; large models are not guaranteed to run smoothly on an ordinary computer. The current free tier includes local execution and limited cloud starter usage. Cloud models may incur metered or subscription charges; free local use does not mean unlimited free cloud use. This listing describes the interface as English. Chinese conversation depends on the selected model and does not establish a Chinese interface. Public local models generally need no sign-in; cloud, private models and publishing require an account. Access in every region is not guaranteed. For internal data, verify that the selected model actually runs locally. Cloud features can be disabled separately, and the local API should not be exposed directly to the public internet.
