Ollama
Run large language models locally with one command.
Ollama makes local LLMs practical: pull a model, run it, and call it from a simple API on your own machine. It is the default starting point for private, offline, or cost-free experimentation. You supply the hardware, and model quality depends on what your machine can run.
