The last days I’ve been testing Ollama, an open source app to run Large Language Models offline on your own (beefy) machine, together with the OpenWebUI frontend. See this explanation for a deeper dive in the possibilities. To have an AI fully offline, without any information you provide it leaving your own machine is very interesting to me. It is also a way to test different models, and to explore the potential to make your own model. And yes, I have already made a Deep Thought model, a simulation of the supercomputer from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” And yes, it is funny.
