Orthogonal, but I just wanted to say how awesome Ollama is. It took 2 seconds to find the model and a minute to download and now I'm using it.

Kudos to that team.

To be fair, it's with the help of OpenAI. They did it together, before the official release.

From experience, it's much more engineering work on the integrator's side than on OpenAI's. Basically they provide you their new model in advance, but they don't know the specifics of your system, so it's normal that you do most of the work. Thus I'm particularly impressed by Cerebras: they only have a few models supported for their extreme perf inference, it must have been huge bespoke work to integrate.

I remember reading Ollama is going closed source now?

It's just as easy with LM Studio.

All the real heavy lifting is done by llama.cpp, and for the distribution, by HuggingFace.
