Why are people still using Ollama? Serious.

Lemonade or even llama.cpp are much better optimised and arguably just as easy to use.

Serious answer: I don't use it that much, it's what I happened to download like 1.5 years ago, and it works fine. Happy to see what may be a speed boost, and have little interest in switching to something else (unless my situation changes, of course).

i like ollama, mostly because the cli is pretty nice. its desktop app has stupid choices like if a model can support tools then the ui should give me the "search" option but it only shows for cloud models.

i have ran lmstudio for a while but i don't really use local models that much other than to mess about.
