Ollama
Ollama is the local-model option I mention if you want a free LLM fallback without paying per API call. The tradeoff is you need more resources—so if you want to run models locally on a VPS, you’ll likely need a bigger plan with enough RAM to handle it.
Pros
- +No per-message API fees when running locally
- +Useful as a fallback model option
Cons
- -Requires more compute/RAM to run well
- -Often means upgrading to a larger VPS plan
