Welcome to the Ollama Course by Studyopedia !!!

Ollama is an open-source platform to download, install, manage, run, and deploy large language models (LLMs). All this can be done locally with Ollama. LLM stands for Large Language Model. These models are designed to understand, generate, and interpret human language at a high level.

Features

• Model Library: Offers a variety of pre-built models like Llama 3.2, Mistral, etc.

• Customization: Allows you to customize and create your own models

• Easy: Provides a simple API for creating, running, and managing models

• Cross-Platform: Available for macOS, Linux, and Windows

• Modelfile: Packages everything you need to run an LLM into a single Modelfile, making it easy to manage and run models

Popular LLMs, such as Llama by Meta, Mistral, Gemma by Google’s DeepMind, Phi by Microsoft, Qwen by Alibaba Clouse, etc., can run locally using Ollama.

In this course, you will learn about Ollama and how it eases the work of a programmer running LLMs. We have discussed how to begin with Ollama, install, and tune LLMs like Lama 3.2, Mistral 7b, etc. We have also covered how to customize a model and create a teaching assistant like ChatBot locally by creating a modefile.
