Ollama

Run open-source large language models locally on your own Mac, Linux, or Windows machine.

Introduction

Ollama is a free, open-source tool that makes running large language models locally as simple as a single terminal command. It supports Llama 3, Mistral, Gemma, Phi, and dozens of other open models, with a clean REST API and growing library of community integrations. Because everything runs on-device, there is no data sent to any cloud service — making it ideal for privacy-sensitive use cases, offline environments, and experimentation. Ollama is entirely free and open source.

Ollama is fully local — models run on your own hardware with zero network egress, providing the highest possible data sovereignty and privacy. Its open-source codebase, free distribution, and support for transparent open-weight models make it a gold standard for all four Sovereignty dimensions. Strongly recommended for any team handling sensitive data, regulated information, or simply wanting full control over their AI infrastructure.
