Overview
Ollama runs open-weight models on your own hardware: one installer, one command, no per-token bill, and nothing leaving the machine. For content marketers the real use is high-volume grunt work like bulk classification, first-pass summarisation, and draft cleanup. The CLI and REST API come with the free tier, which makes it scriptable. The practical limit is RAM.
Key Features
- ✓One-command local install for open-weight models
- ✓CLI and REST API included on the free tier
- ✓Zero per-token cost and fully offline operation
