I’m currently shopping around for something a bit faster than ollama and because I could not get it to use a different context and output length, which seems to be a known and long ignored issue. Somehow everything I’ve tried so far did miss one or more critical features, like:
- “Hot” model replacement, so loading and unloading models on demand
- Function calling
- Support of most models
- OpenAI API compatibility (to work well with Open WebUI)
I’d be happy about any recommendations!
I don’t think it’s OpenAI compatible, but deepseek is faster.
Btw, Ollama is a software to run AI models. Deepseek is just a company. Or a model file or a service. But that’s not what OP is looking for. They want to run a model. And that needs software like Ollama.
