| description.long | Enables development teams to trace LLM application execution, run automated assessments, investigate failures, and iteratively refine AI agents and systems. Offered in two forms: an open-source self-hosted option and a managed cloud service supporting deployment across major cloud providers and on-premise infrastructure. | Ollama enables developers to run open-source language models either on their own computers or through Ollama's cloud infrastructure, with a guarantee that user prompts and responses are never logged, stored, or used for training. Models can run locally without internet (limited by hardware) or in the cloud with no performance constraints. |
