PBS Tidbit 10 — Run LLMs Locally with Ollama with Steve Mattan


Listen Later

In a very unusual Tidbit episode of Programming By Stealth, Allison interviews NosillaCastaway and Programming By Stealth student Steve Mattan about how he's running Large Language Models locally on his Mac. He pulls this off using a series of open source tools, starting with Ollama for the models from the command line, and then Enchanted to give him a nice GUI. He explains how he's integrated the local LLM into VSCode for his coding, and how he uses Keyboard Maestro to launch all of this at once.

You can find the outline and links to how Steve's doing this at pbs.bartificer.net.
