Ollama
Local model runner for downloading, serving, and integrating open models with developer tools and agent workflows.
Open the source and read safety notes before installing.
Safety notes
- Downloaded models can be large and may carry their own license, usage, and safety constraints; review model cards before use.
- Ollama exposes a local service and REST API, so bind addresses, firewall rules, and shared-machine access should be configured intentionally.
- Generated outputs from local models still need review before they are applied to code, documentation, or operational decisions.
Privacy notes
- Local prompts and responses can stay on the machine when using local models, but they may appear in client logs, shell history, or application telemetry around the integration.
- Any remote model source, community integration, or connected chat/workflow client may add its own data handling behavior.
- Do not assume local execution removes the need to protect secrets or sensitive repository context from prompts and logs.
Prerequisites
- A supported macOS, Windows, Linux, or Docker environment with enough CPU, memory, disk, and optional GPU capacity for the selected model.
- Locally downloaded models from the Ollama library or imported model files you are allowed to use.
- A reviewed integration path before connecting Ollama to Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or other agent clients.
