What it is

Ollama is a simple runtime for open-weight models. It shines in prototyping and small production scenarios: fast start, a single interface, a broad model library. We size the server so Ollama runs reliably and does not hit memory limits as load grows.

Runtime
Ollama
Models
Llama / Qwen / Mistral / Gemma and others
Formats
GGUF, quantisation from 4-bit
VRAM
8 GB (small) to 96 GB+
API
OpenAI-compatible
Placement
Office / server room

When it fits

  • Quick start with local AI
  • Individual development and experiments
  • Coding assistant for a team
  • A small AI service with moderate load

What to keep in mind

  • For high concurrency and production throughput, vLLM is better
  • Efficiency depends heavily on quantisation
  • Not every model is in the Ollama registry — some need manual conversion
  • Ollama’s monitoring and logging are minimal — an external layer is often needed

Frequent questions

Ollama or vLLM for production?+

For high-load production, vLLM. Ollama remains optimal for quick start, development and light workloads. Using both is often right: Ollama for development, vLLM for production.

Can several models run at once?+

Yes, given enough VRAM. Ollama unloads models that are not in use, so several can coexist on one server.

Is Ollama compatible with the OpenAI API?+

Yes. Ollama exposes an OpenAI-compatible API, so existing applications can be pointed at it without rework.
