I must be stupid because I don't understand how this is different than having several tabs open in a browser with all the AI services I'd like open?

Re: Ollama's new app
#102If you’re a power user of these LLMs and have coding experience, I actually recommend just whipping together your own bespoke chat UI that you can customize however you like. Grab any OpenAI compatible endpoint for inference and a frontend component framework (many of which have added standard Chat components) - the rest is almost trivial. I threw one together in a week with Gemini’s assistance and now I use it every…

#103Looks like a big pivot on target audience from developers to regular users, at least on the homepage https://ollama.com/ as a product. Before, it was all about the CLI versions of Ollama for devs, now it's not even mentioned. At the bottom of the blog post it says: > For pure CLI versions of Ollama, standalone downloads are available on Ollama’s GitHub releases page. Nothing against that, just an observation. Previou…
one of the maintainers for Ollama. I don't see it as a pivot. We are all developers ourselves, and we use it. In fact, there are many self-made prototypes before this from different individuals. We were hooked, so we built it for ourselves. Ollama is made for developers, and our focus in continually improving Ollama's capabilities.
do you know why ollama hasn't updated its models in over a month while many fantastic models have been released in that time, most recently GLM 4.5? It's forcing me to use LM Studio which I for whatever reason absolutely do not prefer.
thank you guys for all your work on it, regardless

Is there a way to get LM Studio to talk to remote OpenAI API servers and cloud providers?
If you have a Mac, I recommend https://boltai.com/ for that

#105I've been on something of a quest to find a really good chat interface for LLMs. Most import feature for me is that I want to be able to chat with local models, remote models on my other machines, and cloud models (OpenAI API compatible). Anything that makes it easier to switch between models or query them simultaneously is important. Here's what I've learned so far: * Msty - my current favorite. Can do true simultan…
I've been using AnythingLLM for a couple months now and really like it. You can organize different "Workspaces" which are models + specific prompts and it supports Ollama along with the major LLM providers.
I have it running in a docker container on a raspberry pi and then I use Tailscale to make it accessible anywhere. It looks good on mobile too so it's pretty seamless.
I use that and Raycast's Claude extension for random questions and that's pretty much does everything I want.

I have tried most of those and tend to go back to dify.ai. Open source, connects to remote endpoints, test up to 4 models at a time.
I can create workflows that use multiple models to achieve different goals.

#108Earlier quoted context omitted.
OpenWebUI is what you are looking for from a usability perspective. Supports many models chat.
OpenWebUI refuses to support MCP and uses an MCP to OpenAPI proxy which often doesn't work. If you don't like or need MCP, then it is a good choice.
> refuses to support MCP
Why is that? Seems the way to go to add tooling to any LLM that is tool-capable

Ollama runs all local, away from prying corps.
