[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!

Kudos for making an effort to keep it small. Some of these Electron AppImages are 1GB+ which is pretty wild. How do you handle markdown rendering?

Thanks!

I use this package for markdown: https://github.com/gonzalezreal/swift-markdown-ui

I've been using Open WebUI and have been blown away, it's a better ChatGPT interface than ChatGPT! https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui Curious how this compares to that, which has a ton of features and runs great

Is the Open WebUI license still OSI-compatible? I saw some drama about this on reddit but I'm not sure about the current state.

That’s what I came to say. I made a tool for my Mac where I can highlight any text then set a hotkey to use that text in a query to an LLM.

Nice because it works on any text. Browser, IDE, email etc.

Looks 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.

I'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 building this: https://dinoki.ai/ Works fully local, privacy first, and it's a native app (Swift for macOS, WPF for Windows)

this looks so cool! :)

OpenWebUI is what you are looking for from a usability perspective. Supports many models chat.

Another +1 for OpenWebUI. Development is also going really fast <3

I don't really care about that as a user. Maybe for FOSS purists it's important but copyright is a thing I as techy care nothing about. I can it for free and i can see all the source code. I'm not going to build a fork so the rest doesn't matter.
