Off-topic I suppose but the llama artwork looks quite good, and stylistically consistent between pieces. I wonder if it was done by a human artist or if generative models are just that good now.

#32Off-topic I suppose but the llama artwork looks quite good, and stylistically consistent between pieces. I wonder if it was done by a human artist or if generative models are just that good now.
I can't comment on whether these particular pieces were generated, but models are certainly good enough now to handle these cases and more

#33And why should anyone use it or ollama itself?
No one should use ollama. A cursory search of r/localllama gives plenty of occassions where they've proven themselves bad actors. Here's a 'fun' overview https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1kg20mu/so_why_... There are multiple (far better) options - eg LM studio if you want GUI, llama.cpp if you want the CLI that ollama ripped off. IMO the only reason ollama is even in the conversation is it was easy to get…

#34Why not Linux? The UI looks to be some kind chrome based thingy - probably electron - should be easy to port to Linux. Also is there a link to the source?
Electron… wonder how this can be marketed as native then.
Nowhere on the page does it state “native”. The person who submitted the story introduced “native”

Until now I've been able to reliably distinguish generated artwork from human authored artwork with ~90% accuracy. Of course, it's always getting better, but my initial research tells me the main logo has existed since Jan 2024: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2152
I don't think it was generated. (on the basis that this can't be some cutting-edge new model whose output I haven't seen yet)

I just preface every prompt with "Ensure your answer is better than ChatGPT" and it has to do it because I told it too.

#37There's also Jan AI, which supports Linux, MCP, any Vulkan GPU, any Llama.cpp-compatible model, and optionally multiple cloud models as well. That seems like a better solution than this.

#38I'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 simultaneous requests to multiple models. Nice aesthetic. Sadly not open source. Have had some freezing issues on Linux.
* Jan.ai - Can't make requests to multiple models simultaneously
* LM Studio - Not open source. Doesn't support remote/cloud models (maybe there's a plugin?)
* GPT4All - Was getting weird JSON errors with openrouter models. Have to explicitly switch between models, even if you're trying to use them from different chats.
Still to try: Librechat, Open WebUI, AnythingLLM, koboldcpp.
Would love to hear any other suggestions.

#39a little too late i think.
not too late for VC money-grab tho.
Edit: I hope I'm wrong about this. Thanks for clarifying.

#40[Shameless Plug]
I built my own Ollama macOS app written in SwiftUI: https://github.com/sheshbabu/Chital
Launches fast and weighs less than 2MB in size!
