Learning LLM Basics with Ollama
We have recently started learning about LLMs and how we can integrate them into our development projects, and we will be documenting our learning in a series of blog posts. In our first installment of the series, we learned about the OpenAI API. In this one, we will experiment with Ollama, which is an open-source application that allows you to download, run, and interact with LLMs on your own hardware. By running models locally, you maintain complete control over your data and can use LLMs without an internet connection. It also allows you to easily experiment with different models.
