Ollama: from open source to a focused pilot
Run open models on your own hardware with a local API.
What you could build
A local assistant bundled with setup, a suitable device, and an industry knowledge pack.
Start with a specific buyer
Education and business teams evaluating local inference.
Choose one recurring task, interview three potential buyers, and agree a measurable pilot outcome. Test the upstream project with your actual data before designing the full product.
License and commercial review
The runtime uses MIT. Each model has its own license and hardware requirements; MIT does not extend to weights.
Build a small, accountable launch
Use the official setup guide, record the source commit and model versions, keep customer data isolated, and measure cost and quality for each completed workflow. A launch plan helps organize those decisions; deployment and provider accounts remain under your control.
