Open GitHub repoWhy it's picked
The engine under local inference: Ollama and countless desktop AI apps are built on it. Unavoidable when you need models on low-spec machines or edge devices, or fine control over quantization and VRAM.
Laojin's advice
Ollama covers daily needs; reach for llama.cpp when you need to squeeze performance. Q4_K_M GGUF is the quality/size sweet spot; its server mode doubles as an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

AllModelsAPIOne key for many models
AllModelsAPI is a multi-model API gateway: one key reaches many models through an OpenAI-compatible interface — point your existing code at a new base URL and you're migrated. It's not a demo: our own production workloads run on it every day.
