A thread on Reddit, in the LocalLLaMA community, has ignited a debate about Ollama, a framework designed to simplify the local execution of large language models (LLMs).

Criticisms and discussions

The original post, provocatively titled "Bashing Ollama isn’t just a pleasure, it’s a duty," has generated a lively discussion. Users have expressed various opinions on the functionality, performance, and usability of Ollama. While the thread does not provide specific details on the criticisms made, the title suggests that some users perceive significant shortcomings in the system.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs between the ease of use of frameworks like Ollama and the need for more granular control over the underlying infrastructure. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
