minus-squareGreg Clarke@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32arrow-down2·5 days agoOllama can’t run on Android
minus-squareAmbiguousProps@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up23·5 days agoThat’s fair, but I think I’d rather self host an Ollama server and connect to it with an Android client in that case. Much better performance.
minus-squareOhVenus_Baby@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoHow is Ollama compared to GPT models? I used the paid tier for work and I’m curious how this stacks up.
minus-squareAmbiguousProps@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoIt’s decent, with the deepseek model anyway. It’s not as fast and has a lower parameter count though. You might just need to try it and see if it fits your needs or not.
minus-squareGreg Clarke@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·5 days agoYes, that’s my setup. But this will be useful for cases where internet connection is not reliable
minus-squareGreg Clarke@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 days agoHas this actually been done? If so, I assume it would only be able to use the CPU
minus-squareEuphoma@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·5 days agoYeah I have it in termux. Ollama is in the package repos for termux. The speed it generates does feel like cpu speed but idk
minus-squareDiplomjodler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 days agoIs there any useful model you can run on a phone?
minus-squaregens@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoLlama.cpp (on which ollama runs on) can. And many chat programs for phones can use it.
