About Ollama
Ollama doubles as an MLX runtime and a local backend for coding agents
Ollama is a local LLM runtime maturing on two fronts: a native MLX engine for Apple Silicon, which now runs the Command A and North model families, and an emerging role as a launcher and backend for third-party coding agents, auto-installing Claude Code and opencode and detecting Codex model drift. The bulk of recent tags are release candidates carrying llama.cpp syncs, context-handling fixes, and per-model renderer additions.
