Run language models (Llama, Mistral, Gemma, etc.) locally with one command. The standard for local AI, but it is terminal-based so some computer experience is required. Local use is free; paid cloud plans (Pro approx. SEK 190/month, Max approx. SEK 950/month) are available for larger models.
Best for: For you who want to run AI models locally without hassle, and who can open a terminal.
Pros
- One command to download and run models
- Largest ecosystem and model library for local AI
- The local tool is free and open source (MIT)
- Works on Mac, Windows and Linux
Cons
- Terminal-based: GUI requires third-party apps
- American company behind the project (but data stays local)
- Requires good hardware for larger models
- Cloud plans (Pro/Max) run the models on Ollama's servers; then data leaves your computer
