Ollama and vLLM are both open-source tools for running large language models, but they serve different purposes. Ollama is designed for individual developers, offering a simple setup for local model experimentation, as demonstrated by its ease of use for running Llama~3.1 on a MacBook. In contrast, vLLM is a high-performance inference engine optimized for keeping GPUs busy and handling multiple users, making it suitable for production environments where Ollama might falter under load.
