Ollama: Get up and running with Large Language Models

Ollama is a streamlined tool that brings the power of open-source large language models (LLMs) to your local machine.In our present era of paid AI services aiming to improve lives of end-users, Ollama makes it easier to run LLMs on your own computer without needing a cloud service for no cost, allowing users to evaluate the model’s strengths and weaknesses to determine whether the model can be useful in their business contexts.

In this talk (mini-workshop rather) ‘G’ Gaurav Saxena (@gsvolt) will discuss:

  • Basics of Ollama
  • How to set it up on your system (Linux or Mac) and download models locally
  • Download models and use Ollama to interact with them
  • Explore Ollama’s REST API using cURL (and briefly explore a variety of tools building on top of it)
  • How to create your own custom models with Ollama’s Modelfile

April 25, 2024, 7 PM to 9 PM EDT. See Meetup.
