This guide compares Ollama and vLLM for running local large language models, highlighting when to migrate from Ollama to vLLM. Ollama is praised for its simplicity and ease of use for individual model consumption, while vLLM is presented as a more robust inference engine suited for shared services requiring higher throughput, better scheduling, and advanced features like continuous batching and distributed inference. The article outlines practical indicators for migration, such as unstable latency under multiple users or low GPU utilization despite queued requests, emphasizing that the choice depends on workload demands rather than just feature lists.
