Can I use this skill to run OpenAI alternatives?

Absolutely. It is designed to trigger when you need free or self-hosted alternatives to replace commercial AI providers.

Does this skill require specific hardware?

While the skill automates the software setup, running local models efficiently typically requires a modern CPU/GPU and sufficient RAM depending on the model size.

Can this skill help me save money on AI development?

Yes, by helping you transition to local LLMs, it eliminates the per-token costs associated with services like OpenAI and Anthropic.

What does the Ollama Setup skill do?

It automates the installation and configuration process for Ollama, allowing you to run large language models locally on your machine instead of relying on cloud APIs.

Is Ollama difficult to configure manually?

Manual setup involves several terminal commands and environment variables; this skill automates those steps to ensure a consistent and error-free configuration.
