Most people use AI through websites.
But there’s a tool called Ollama that lets you run AI models directly on your computer.
Why that matters:
• Your data stays local
• No API costs
• Faster for certain tasks
• You can run open models like Llama, Mistral, and Qwen
What people use it for:
• private document analysis
• building local AI assistants
• testing different models
• creating custom workflows
Simple setup:
Install Ollama
Run a model (example: ollama run llama3)
Start chatting with the model locally
It’s not for everyone.
But if you’re building tools or experimenting with AI systems, it’s incredibly useful.
Sometimes the most powerful tools aren’t the ones everyone is talking about.
Have you ever run an AI model locally, or only through websites?
