what does ollama give me?
Discussion
It's an alternative to llama.cpp, the server running the actual models, it should be more user friendly and "plug and play" wrt llama.cpp.
from what I understand it just makes it easier to swap models, but it still uses llama.cpp under the hood.
Sorry, yeah it's more like a wrapper than an alternative.
Yes, but don't discount that value. I used to run llama.cpp on the command line because it's amazing that you can ./a-brain. These days I run ollama on the GPU computer and connect to it from my laptop or phone using Zed or Enchanted.
