About Ollama
Ollama makes it easy to run large language models locally or through Ollama Cloud. It handles model management, GPU acceleration, an OpenAI-compatible API, and official coding-agent integrations. Ollama v0.24 added Codex App support, and the Ollama Codex CLI docs now document launch/profile paths for using Codex with Ollama-backed local or cloud models.
