Engineer uses Ollama for private LLM tasks, avoiding data training

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A software engineer is attempting to reduce their reliance on large language models (LLMs) but finds them indispensable for certain tasks. To maintain privacy and avoid having their data used for training, they have opted to pay for Ollama, an open-source model service. This allows them to utilize various models like glm5.2, kimi-k2.7, Claude, and Codex while keeping their prompts private. AI

IMPACT Using services like Ollama allows developers to maintain data privacy and control over model training, potentially influencing how individuals and businesses adopt LLM technologies.

RANK_REASON The item is a personal reflection on using an LLM service, not a product release or significant industry event.

    I've been trying to minimize my use of LLMs, but as a software engineer there are some tasks that are way easier, so it's hard to cut out completely. So I've started paying for Ollama so I can use open source models (glm5.2, kimi-k2.7) in the cloud whenever possible. Works with c…
