By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new application allows Mac users to chat with large language models running on a separate computer. This setup leverages Ollama and llama.cpp to enable local model execution, with the application displaying the model's thinking process, context, and status. AI

IMPACT Enables users to run LLMs locally on their own hardware, offering more privacy and control over model interactions.
