Ollama
A command-line tool and REST API for running and managing open-weight large language models on local hardware or a hosted cloud service
It takes care to curate a safe software space. Help us do more.
&
| + | Local Model Execution local, free, pro, max, team, enterprise | Runs open-weight large language models entirely on the user’s own CPU or GPU, allowing offline use and keeping prompts and outputs off any external server. |
|---|---|---|
| + | REST API local, free, pro, max, team, enterprise | Exposes a local REST API on port 11434 for chat, generation, and embeddings, enabling developers to integrate model inference into their own scripts and applications without extra setup. |
| + | Modelfile Customization local, free, pro, max, team, enterprise | Lets users define custom model configurations, system prompts, and parameters through a Modelfile, allowing them to create and share tailored model variants. |
| + | Tool/Function Calling local, free, pro, max, team, enterprise | Lets supported models invoke external functions mid-conversation, enabling agentic workflows such as calculators, web search, or custom application logic. |
| + | Structured Outputs local, free, pro, max, team, enterprise | Constrains a model’s response to a JSON schema defined by the user, so applications can reliably parse machine-readable output without extra prompt engineering. |
| + | Multimodal Model Support local, free, pro, max, team, enterprise | Runs vision-capable models that accept image input alongside text, allowing users to analyze or describe images without sending them to a cloud service. |
| + | OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint local, free, pro, max, team, enterprise | Mirrors the OpenAI Chat Completions API format, letting existing OpenAI-client code work against local models with minimal code changes. |
| + | Coding-Agent Integrations local, free, pro, max, team, enterprise | Provides one-command launchers for tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, cutting the setup time needed to point a coding agent at a local or cloud model. |
| + | Cloud Model Offloading free, pro, max, team, enterprise | Runs larger models on Ollama’s hosted infrastructure while keeping the same local CLI and API workflow, so users can access models too large for their own hardware. |

Notes
- Running models locally is always free and unlimited; the Free/Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise tiers govern usage of Ollama’s hosted cloud models only, not local/self-hosted use.
