Stop Using Ollama
For people looking for alternatives, I would also recommend llama-file, it’s a one file executable for any OS that includes your chosen model: https://github.com/mozilla-ai/llamafile?tab=readme-ov-file
It’s truly open source, backed by Mozilla, openly uses llama.cpp and was created by wizard Justine Tunney of CosmopolitanC fame.

Can I Run AI locally?
Personally I'd start with llamafile [0] then move to compiling your own llama.cpp.
It's not as bad as you might think to compile llama.cpp for your target architecture and spin up an OpenAI compatible API endpoint. It even downloads the models for you.

Please don’t recommend this. If binfmt_misc is enabled, it’s probably for a reason, and disabling it will break things. I have a .NET/Mono app installed that it would break, for example—it’s definitely not just Wine.
If binfmt_misc is causing problems, the proper solution is to register the executable type. https://github.com/mozilla-ai/llamafile#linux describes steps.
I made myself a package containing /usr/bin/ape and the following /usr/lib/binfmt.d/ape.conf:

Fast
ive approached the same thing but slightly differently. i can run it on consumer hardware for vastly cheaper than the cloud and don't have to worry about image sizes at all. offering 20,000 minutes of transcription for free up to the rate limit (1 Request Every 5 Seconds)

Show HN: Local LLM Notepad – run a GPT-style model from a USB stick
Seconded for Llamafile, here is a link for references https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile . It indeed is working on all major platforms and its tooling allows easy creating of new llamafiles with new models. The only caveat is Windows where there is a limit 4Gb for executable files so just a llamafile launcher and the gguf file itself must be used. But this approach will work anywhere anyway.
