Ollama is a tool for running open language models such as Gemma, Qwen, DeepSeek and gpt-oss. You start a model from the command line, chat with it, and connect it to other tools and agents.
It also provides a REST API for running and managing models, backed by the llama.cpp project, along with official Python and JavaScript libraries. Developers and curious users who want to build with open models will find a straightforward starting point.
