Most AI resume tools call out to OpenAI or Anthropic and charge you for every request. Persona supports Ollama — which means you can run the AI model locally on your own hardware, with zero API costs and zero data leaving your machine.

To solve these, we built a stack that prioritizes integrity over ease. The centerpiece is Ollama, running the mxbai-embed-large model locally. This is the engine that translates human thought into high-dimensional coordinates.

Ollama for model serving

Fully offline: Point it at Ollama or LM Studio. Zero cost, nothing leaves your network.

Recommended hardware: The RTX 3060 with 12 GB VRAM is the budget king here — all these models fit with room to spare for KV cache overhead, even Gemma 4:12B (which needs ~8.5–9 GB with overhead). An RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB gives you more headroom. On the Apple side, any M2 or M3 MacBook with 16 GB unified memory handles these models comfortably via Ollama's Metal backend.

This guide shows how to swap out every cloud API with a local Ollama server running qwen3-coder:30b. Same tools, same workflows, no data leaving your network.

The sample is a tiny console app running entirely against a local Ollama model — no cloud keys, and every HTTP call is traced so I can see exactly what goes over the wire (complete sample code). There's a single skill on disk:

Ollama: Ollama is an open source project that simplifies how developers run, interact with, and train LLMs. Its original purpose is to be run locally, but because it operates anywhere Linux does, and doesn’t require a web interface, it’s quite easy to install anywhere.‍

I'm a podman beginner, trying to install ollama-webui(1) using Podman on M2 MBA.

I started up Podman Desktop, and did a terminal command "docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui --restart always ghcr.io/ollama-webui/ollama-webui:main" based on Github's instructions, but it gave a error message something about "host".

Do you know what is the problem and how do I overcome this?

If I run the above command using Docker Desktop, it runs and installs Ollama-WebUI just fine.

Thank you.

I set up Ollama in a docker container (really easy) and I use the Ollama web-ui here, that's very much like ChatGPT, and I have that in a container as well.
