I'd love to know what search engine provider they're using under the hood for this. I asked them on Twitter and didn't get a reply (yet) https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1971210260015919488 Crucially, I want to understand the license that applies to the search results. Can I store them, can I re-publish them? Different providers have different rules about this.
What "Ollama account?" I am confused, I thought the point of Ollama was to self-host models.
For starter, this is completely optional. It can be completely local too for you to publish your own models to ollama.com that you can share with others.

Yeah it's been a steady pivot to profitable features. Wonderful to see them build a reputation through FOSS and codebase from free labor to then cash in.
As long as the software that runs locally gets maintained (and ideally improved, though if it is not I’ll simply move to something else), I find it difficult to be angry. I am more annoyed by software companies that offer a nerfed "community edition" whose only purpose is to coerce people into buying the commercial version.
This is the play. Its only a matter of time till they do it. Investors will want their returns

It makes me wonder if they’ve partnered with another of their VC’s peers who’s recently had a cash injection, and they’re being used as a design partner/customer story.
Exa would be my bet. YC backed them early, and they’ve also just closed a $85M Series B. Bing would be too expensive to run freely without Microsoft partnership.
Get on that privacy notice soon, Ollama. You’re HQ’d in CA, you’re definitely subject to CCPA. (You don’t need revenue to be subject to this, just being a data controller for 50,000 Californian residents is enough.)

I can imagine the reaction if it turns out the zero-retention provider backing them ended up being Alibaba.

What sort of monetization model would you like to see? What model would you deem acceptable?
This is almost exactly how duckdb/motherduck functions and I think theyre doing an excellent job.
EDIT: grammar and readability

When we started Ollama, we were told how open-source (open-weight wasn't a term back then) will always be inferior to the close-sourced models. This was 2 years ago (Ollama's birthday is July 18th, 2023). Fast forward to now, open models are quickly catching up, and at a significantly lower price point for most and can be customized for specific tasks instead of being general purpose. For general purpose models, abso…
Ya a lot of ppl don't realize you could spend 2k on a 5090 to run some of the large models. Or spend 20 a month for models even a 5090 couldn't run. And not have to spend your own electricity, hardware, maintenance, updates etc.
Like a full search engine that can visit pages on your behalf. Is anyone building this?
I know it might be a security nightmare, but I still want to see an implementation of client-side web search. Like a full search engine that can visit pages on your behalf. Is anyone building this?

> Create an API key from your Ollama account. Dead on arrival. Thanks for playing, Ollama, but you've already done the leg work in obsoleting yourself.
