Ollama is an open-source, locally operated runtime environment for large language models (LLMs), available free of charge under the MIT license. Founded in 2023 by Michael Chiang and Jeffrey Morgan, it allows users to run models such as Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma, or DeepSeek on their own hardware with just a few commands. The primary inference backend is llama.cpp; from version 0.19 (March 2026) onwards, Apple's MLX framework is additionally supported on Apple Silicon. Ollama provides an OpenAI-compatible REST API and supports macOS, Linux, and Windows without any cloud dependency.
