AI and LLMs: Useful, But More Code Isn’t Always the Solution The rise of AI and large language models (LLMs) has made writing code easier and more accessible than ever before. With a few prompts, developers can generate boilerplate, automate repetitive tasks, and even solve complex problems. This is a remarkable leap in productivity and creativity. However, it’s important to remember that code itself is not the solution—at least, not always.

What is Ollama? Ollama is a platform that makes it easy to run large language models (LLMs) like Llama, Gemma, Mistral, and many others on your local machine. It provides a simple interface for downloading, running, and interacting with these models directly from the terminal or via API, without relying on cloud services. This is especially useful for developers who want privacy, speed, and full control over their AI workflows.
