Ughhh, I could go on forever, but to keep it short: - Tech bro enshittification: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1p0u8hd/ollamas_enshitification_has_begun_opensource_is/ - Hiding attribution to the actual open source project it's based on: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1jgh0kd/opinion_ollama_is_overhyped_and_its_unethical/ - A huge support drain on llama.cpp, without a single cent, nor a notable contribution, given back. - Constant bugs and broken models from "quick and dirty" model support updates, just for hype. - Breaking standard GGUFs. - Deliberately misnaming models (like the Deepseek Qwen distills and "Deepseek") for hype. - Horrible defaults (like ancient default models, 4096 context, really bad/lazy quantizations). - A bunch of spam, drama, and abuse on Linkedin, Twitter, Reddit and such. Basically, the devs are Tech Bros. They're scammer-adjacent. I've been in local inference for years, and wouldn't touch ollama if you paid me to. I'd trust Gemini API over them any day. I'd recommend base llama.cpp or ik_llama.cpp or kobold.cpp, but if you ***must*** use an "turnkey" and popular UI, LMStudio is way better. But the problem is, if you want a performant local LLM, nothing about local inference is *really* turnkey. It's just too hardware sensitive, and moves too fast.
