    More ethical alternatives have caught up including llama.cpp

  • I’ve been using OMLX on 48gb Mac. It’s a lot smoother setup than Ollama and has a built in model sizer and all that in a nice ui. Also will pre configure and launch opencode, pi, Hermes, codex and Claude out of the box with no fuss. I’ve been really happy with it.
  • Friends don't let friends use Ollama
  • If you have both ollama and llama.cpp installed on your MBP, and are interested in utilizing your local model as a cost-saving preprocessor for your frontier models, consider using https://github.com/Standard-Pentest/kultivait!

    "kultivait init --setup" to evaluate your machine's hardware, access to frontier cli-tools, download models, and create a proxy for ollama to get started. works great with opencode!
