## Automate your work.

Run any model, locally or in the cloud. Build agents, automate workflows, ship apps — without sending a single token to a third party.

The CLI is the API. Start a model in one line; stream tokens in the next.

## Start local.
Scale cloud.

The same model, the same prompt, the same CLI — running on your laptop or on an H100. Switch with a flag, never with a rewrite.

No vendor lock-in. Models stay portable: pull once, run anywhere.

--cloud

## Your data stays yours.

Models run on your machine by default. When you scale to the cloud, your prompts and outputs are never used to train anything.

## Frequently asked questions

#### Is Ollama really free to run locally?

Yes. The Ollama CLI is open source under the MIT license and free for personal and commercial use. You only pay if you opt into the hosted cloud tier.

#### Which models can I run?

Anything in the Ollama library — Llama 3, Mistral, Gemma, Phi, Qwen, DeepSeek, and many more. You can also bring your own GGUF models with a Modelfile.

#### Does Ollama see my prompts?

No. When you run locally, everything stays on your machine. When you opt into the cloud tier, your prompts and outputs are encrypted in transit and never used to train models. Contact us at hello@ollama.com for the full data policy.

#### Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your billing dashboard — your account drops back to the free local tier at the end of the cycle.

#### How does GPU support work?

Ollama auto-detects Metal on Apple Silicon, CUDA on NVIDIA, and ROCm on AMD. Falls back to CPU otherwise. No driver flags, no env vars.
