What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Ollama

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.
