Ollama runs language models on your own computer or server. It provides a command-line runner and a local API for people building AI applications or connecting existing tools to models they host themselves. The software is distributed under the MIT license.

It runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, with a Docker image for server deployments. You can download models from its library or import your own, then run inference locally. Hardware requirements depend on the model you choose.

Applications can connect through Ollama's REST API or its Python and JavaScript libraries. Coding agents, chat interfaces and automation tools can use the same local runtime, so you can change the model behind a workflow without having to build a model server yourself.
