What platforms does Ollama support?

Source: https://ollama.com/pricing
Can Ollama be self-hosted?
Yes. Ollama can be deployed cloud / SaaS, on-premise and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.

What does Ollama integrate with?
We have confirmed 63 integrations for Ollama, including Claude Code, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Codex, Copilot, Droid, Open WebUI and Onyx, plus 55 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
Source: https://ollama.com/pricing
What security certifications does Ollama have?
We have independently confirmed GDPR for Ollama. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Ollama not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

Is Ollama open source?

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Ollama, not the verdict.
