Ollama
An MIT-licensed local LLM runner and API for macOS, Windows, Linux and Docker, with optional cloud inference and coding agent integrations.
Alternative to:

Ollama runs open models for people who want local AI applications, model chat or a backend for coding assistants. It provides a command-line interface and an API, with a choice between inference on your hardware and its cloud service.
- Local model use: Run and chat with models such as Gemma, Qwen and DeepSeek, or import models for use with the local runtime.
- Application connections: Use the REST API or Python and JavaScript libraries to connect applications and manage models.
- Coding assistants: Connect Ollama to tools including Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI and OpenCode.
- Personal assistant integration: Use OpenClaw with Ollama to connect an AI assistant to channels such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack and Discord.
Ollama is open source under the MIT License and runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, with an official Docker image for server use. Its supported backends include llama.cpp.
Local inference runs on your computer or server. Optional cloud inference runs on Ollama's service instead. Ollama says it doesn't store prompts or use them for training.
