Run open models locally (and, officially, in the cloud)

A popular way to run open models on your machine with a simple CLI and API. The official site also describes cloud options and zero data retention for cloud runs. Self-hosting is free and open source.

Pricing: The local product is free and open source; you pay for hardware. The homepage mentions cloud hosting. A simple public cloud rate card was not clearly available in our 14 Nov 2026 fetch — confirm any cloud prices on ollama.com.
