  Ollama Python library

  

Ollama allows us to run open-source Large language models (LLMs) locally on our system. If you don't have Ollama installed on your system and don't know how to use it, I suggest you go through my Beginner's Guide to Ollama. It will guide you through the installation and initial steps of Ollama. In this article, I am going to share how we can use the REST API that Ollama provides us to run and generate responses from LLMs. I will also show how we can use Python to programmatically generate responses from Ollama.

Now, as we see, the /api/generate endpoint is used to generate a response/completion for a given prompt. There are various endpoints that we can use for different purposes. You can check them out at the API Documentation of Ollama.
